Given I'll not participate physically, I'll give my page-pool status
here.

The page-pool idea was presented at MM-summit in April 2016:

Since I've written a more details design document (reviewed by Tom and
Alexei).   I've not implemented any code for the page-pool yet.  I've
read and discussed the current page-allocators per cpu caching of
order-0 pages with Mel Gorman.  Mel is open to changes in this area.
We are looking at doing a "native" bulk between page-pool and
page-allocator, by aligning/sharing some of the same data-structures
(I see this as the page-pool "backend").  I want to prototype implement at
page-pool frontend, in-order to (1) benchmark if it is fast-enough
for perf-target, (2) to figure out the API drivers needs.
