It's not that simple of course...
InfiniBand allows RDMA -- _remote_ DMA. So that address might be
something that a protocol sent to the remote host and which is now
showing up for a DMA operation initiated by the remote side. And we
can't very well send a struct page * + offset to the remote side...
