Oh great. I haven't extensively tested the p2pdma setup yet because I
rely on a pretty janky qemu setup to do so.

Good point. I'm in the middle of respinning this (I was hoping to get it
done before LSF/MM but I suspect my travel will preempt it) so will add
this fix.

Note that there are problems with both fs-dax and device-dax in this
version which the next one fixes, but any p2p dma testing would be
appreciated. Thanks!
