Convert netmem to be a union of struct page and struct netmem. Overload
the LSB of struct netmem* to indicate that it's a net_iov, otherwise
it's a page.
Currently these entries in struct page are rented by the page_pool and
used exclusively by the net stack:
struct {
unsigned long pp_magic;
struct page_pool *pp;
unsigned long _pp_mapping_pad;
unsigned long dma_addr;
atomic_long_t pp_ref_count;
};
Mirror these (and only these) entries into struct net_iov and implement
netmem helpers that can access these common fields regardless of
whether the underlying type is page or net_iov.
Implement checks for net_iov in netmem helpers which delegate to mm
APIs, to ensure net_iov are never passed to the mm stack.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
