^^^
Oops, here is bug, it must be

if (min(iov_pages, MAX_SKB_FRAGS) + 1 <= vq->num_max)

This is because whole iov is not inserted to the tx queue. iov is splitted by
MAX_SKB_FRAGS limit (in tx loop in virtio_transport_common.c) and then every
skb is inserted to the tx queue. I'll fix it in v5, sorry

Thanks, Arseniy
