With below commit log change(because of commit log line too long)

    net/virtio: allocate fake mbuf in Rx queue
    [...]
    struct virtnet_rx {
     struct virtqueue *vq; /*0 8*/

     /* XXX 56 bytes hole, try to pack */

     /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
     struct rte_mbuf fake_mbuf __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /*64 128*/
     /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */

Series applied to next-virtio/main.

Thanks!
