Note here that we can only use this because dma_addr is not aliased to
compound page anymore (after the initial page_pool recycling patchset). 
We must keep this in mind if we even restructure struct page.

Can we do something more radical for this? The 64/32 bit dance is only
there for 32 bit systems with 64 bit dma.  Since the last time we asked
about this no one seemed to care about these, and I really doubt we'll get
an ethernet driver for them (that needs recycling....), can we *only* support 
frag allocation and recycling for 'normal' systems? We could always just r
e-purpose dma_addr[1] for those.
