Isn't is a bit of a leap to assume that the pgmap is uniform across
all the sgs?

Interesting.

So, for the places where we already map BAR memory to userspace, if I
were to make struct pages for those BARs and use vm_insert_page()
instead of io_remap_pfn_range(), then the main thing missing in RDMA
to actually do P2P DMA is a way to get those struct pages out of
get_user_pages and know to call the pci_p2pdma_map_sg version (ie in
ib_umem_get())?
