I feel like I already had this discussion and I forgot the outcome, if
so I'm sorry. To me the "but is safe to select." part in the knob
description means this could be enabled in production, and AFAICS the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET-enabled code so far respects that assumption.
I believe the previous discussion was page pool specific and there
wasn't as much of a conclusion as an acquiescence (read: we had more
important things on our minds than that argument ;)).
Should we set a bar for how much perf impact is okay?
