The PV network protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity using network
device on a non-modified Xen.
It's only necessary to adapt the ring size and break skb data in small
chunk of 4KB. The rest of the code is relying on the grant table code.
Note that we allocate a Linux page for each rx skb but only the first
4KB is used. We may improve the memory usage by extending the size of
the rx skb.

Improvement such as support of 64KB grant is not taken into
consideration in this patch because we have the requirement to run a Linux
using 64KB pages on a non-modified Xen.
Tested with workload such as ping, ssh, wget, git... I would happy if
someone give details how to test all the path.
