Speaking of bpf: one thing that might be problematic with this PP_DEVMEM
bit is that it will make debugging with bpftrace a bit (more)
complicated. If somebody were trying to get to that page_pool_iov from
the frags, they will have to do the equivalent of page_is_page_pool_iov,
but probably not a big deal? (thinking out loud)
