I am very sorry, I was clearly hallucinating when I first looked at
this. In my defence it was kinda late at night in my time zone :-D

Since this driver supports page_pool, I think it's reasonable to
convert it to netmem. It may not be intreseted in supporting devmem or
io_uring zcrx but there may be more netmem features in the future and
future proofing it sounds good to me.

(although I would like to see a virt_to_head_netmem helper FWIW).
