In Alex's patch, I really like it that he's passing pages as sg
entries. IMHO that's both cleaner and allows seamless
support for arbitrary page sizes.
In particular ....

... passing native endian-ness values to host creates pain for
cross-endian configurations.

It would be nicer to disable the feature bit then, or fail probe
completely.
