Can we assume the DMA mapping of page pool is page aligned? We should
be, right? That means we're storing 12 bits of 0 at the lower end.
So even with 32b of space we can easily store addresses for 32b+12b =>
16TB of memory. "Ought to be enough" to paraphrase Bill G, and the
problem is only in our heads?
Before we go that way - Mina, are the dma-buf "chunks" you're working
with going to be fragment-able? Or rather can driver and/or core take
multiple references on a single buffer?
