How can this work if we had to revert the patch which made all of
the networking stack take pp-aware refs? Maybe we should add the
refcount, and let it be bumped, but WARN() if the net_iov is released
with refcount other than 1? Or we need a very solid explanation why
the conversion had to be reverted and this is fine.

Can we move this out and rename it to netmem_pfn_trace() ?
Silently returning 0 is not generally okay, but since it's only 
for tracing we don't care.

Why is all this stuff in the main header? It's really low level.
Please put helpers which are only used by the core in a header
under net/core/, like net/core/dev.h
