Linus suggested during one of past maintainer summits (in context of
a DMA_BUF discussion) that symbol namespaces can be used to prevent
unwelcome but in-tree code from using all exported functions.
Create a namespace for netdev.
Export netdev_rx_queue_restart(), drivers may want to use it since
it gives them a simple and safe way to restart a queue to apply
config changes. But it's both too low level and too actively developed
to be used outside netdev.

Implement a memory provider that allocates dmabuf devmem in the form of
net_iov.
The provider receives a reference to the struct netdev_dmabuf_binding
via the pool->mp_priv pointer. The driver needs to set this pointer for
the provider in the net_iov.
The provider obtains a reference on the netdev_dmabuf_binding which
guarantees the binding and the underlying mapping remains alive until
the provider is destroyed.
Usage of PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP is required for this memory provide such that
the page_pool can provide the driver with the dma-addrs of the devmem.
Support for PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is omitted for simplicity & p.order !=
0.
