I don't think we should call an exported function here - this is a
fast path for rdma and iommfd, I don't want to see it degrade to save
three duplicated lines :\

Any way to quantify? In theory, the compiler could still optimize this within the same file, no?


Make the new function an inline?

That of course also works.
