What's the intended relation between the types?
netmem_ref exists to clearly indicate that memory may not be readable.
Majority of memory we expect to allocate from page pool must be
kernel-readable. What's the plan for reading the "single pointer"
memory within the kernel?
I think you're approaching this problem from the easiest and least
relevant direction. Are you coordinating with David Howells?
