This is not useful unless you want to go through all the kernel paths we 
are using and replace page_to_phys() and friends with something else 
that calls an HMM function when appropriate...

The problem isn't getting the physical address from a page, it's that we 
are passing these pages through various kernel interfaces which expect 
pages that work in the usual manner. (Look at the code: we quite simply 
provide a way to get the PCI bus address from a page when necessary).
