I'm not so keen on this use of resources, but this should be written more
like

phys = page_to_phys(sg_page_iter_page(&sg_iter))
region_intersects(phys + sg_iter->offset, sg_iter->length,.. )

And you understand this will make memory registration of every RXE
user a bit slower? And actual pmem will be painfully slow.

It seems like we are doing something wrong here..

Do not pr_warn on syscall paths
