Why? After your explanation that makes sense for me. The driver needs
one contiguous chunk for those 9k packet buffer and thus requests a
3-order page of 16k. Or do i still do not understand this?

Correct, except that it wants 32k.
e1000 logic is following:
align frame size to power-of-two,
16K?

then skb_alloc adds a little
(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) at the end, and this ends up
in 32k request just for 9k jumbo frame.

Strange, why this skb_shared_info cannon be added before first alignment? And what about smaller frames like 1500, does this driver behave similar (first align then add)?
