[RFC v4 02/18] netmem: introduce netmem alloc APIs to wrap page alloc APIs

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Tue Jun 03 2025 - 22:56:43 EST


To eliminate the use of struct page in page pool, the page pool code
should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead.

As part of the work, introduce netmem alloc APIs allowing the code to
use them rather than the existing APIs for struct page.
