This refactors ttm_pool_free_page(), and by adding extra entries

allows us to simplify the arguments needed to be passed to
ttm_pool_free_page().
This is a clear NAK since the peer page data is just a workaround for
the DMA-API hack to grab pages from there.

Adding this to all pages would increase the memory footprint drastically.
Yea, that's a good point!  Hrm... bummer. I'll have to see if there's
some other way I can get the needed context for the free from the
generic page-pool side.

What exactly is the problem here? As far as I can see we just have the lru entry (list_head) and the pool.

How the lru is cast to the page can be completely pool implementation specific.

Christian.


Thanks so much for the review!
