Changing guest configuration to disable mergeable RX buffers:

had a clear effect on throughput:
PREEMPT_LAZY: throughput improved from 40 Gb/s → 60 Gb/s
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
