Sure, I will split these changes into separate patches in the next
version of this patch series.

dst_addr, phys_dst_addr VA/PA destination addresses. But, page is a
buffer in the current VA space (hence changed to void *), dst looked
confusing as it seemed as it was part of the
destination addresses.

I will split this patch into several changes. I will describe
