Not until you start using paged SKBs in netvsc_recv_callback.
Whatever fragmention you think you're avoiding in the hyperv layer,
you're still going to get from the:
skb = netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(net, packet->total_data_buflen);
call there.
This change makes no sense in isolation, therefore I'm not applying it
until you also include the appropriate changes to avoid the same
exact fragmentation issue in netvsc_drv.c as stated above.
