page_type field is in 'struct page', so 'struct page' can check the type.
However, the field is not in 'struct net_iov', so 'struct net_iov' that
is not backed by page, cannot use the type checking to see if it's page
pool'ed instance.
I'm afraid I didn't get your questions. I will try to explain again
properly if you give me more detail and example about your questions or
requirement.
