I was gonna reply on the other leg of the thread but it sounds like
we're in agreement now? 👏️  virtio_net_hdr is the kind of generic
descriptor I had in mind.

I'd suggest breaking hdr_len into L2len, L3len and L4len, tho. How does
virtio do IP length updates during TSO if it doesn't know where L3
starts? HW will want to know, and it's easy to add them together in
cases where it doesn't. Which is why I kept saying "packet geometry"
rather than pointing at virtio_net_hdr.
