Implement a memory provider that allocates dmabuf devmem in the form of net_iov. The provider receives a reference to the struct netdev_dmabuf_binding via the pool->mp_priv pointer. The driver needs to set this pointer for the provider in the net_iov. The provider obtains a reference on the netdev_dmabuf_binding which guarantees the binding and the underlying mapping remains alive until the provider is destroyed. Usage of PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP is required for this memory provide such that the page_pool can provide the driver with the dma-addrs of the devmem. Support for PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is omitted for simplicity & p.order != 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
