Changing guest configuration to disable mergeable RX buffers:

Brings this the workload/ test to PREEMPT_FULL level?


Sorry was not clear here, so when I enable this there is also an improvement in PREEMPT_FULL
from 55Gb/s -> 60Gb/s

So I see an improvement in both test cases.
PREEMPT_LAZY: throughput improved from 40 Gb/s → 60 Gb/s
PREEMPT_FULL: throughput improved from 55 Gb/s → 60 Gb/s
