Why retain the legacy path? Page pool is 7 years old, all major NIC
vendors had dropped the support for non-page pool Rx path at this point.
If there are bugs or performance regressions we will fix them and send
the fixes to stable.

I have seen some drivers that retain the legacy packet receiving path.
The community does not recommend this practice now, and I will remove the legacy path in v2.

Thanks,
