IIRC Will mentioned on a previous version of this series: what do we do
with the kmalloc() minalign bouncing (or other bouncing)? I think this
would only work if the device is shared.

I'm more and more inclined to only support shared devices with this
series (no dev assignment) and make it a strict dependence on RMM 1.0.
Running it in a different configuration with private devices will fall
apart. With this condition, the patch looks fine:
