This probably wnats a helper to make the thing more readable.  But who
came up with this fucked up communication protocol where the host needs
to map random pfns into a contigous range?  Sometime I really have to
wonder what crack the hyper-v people take when comparing this to the
relatively sane approach others take.

Any reason this isn't simply using a struct scatterlist?

dma_map_single can only be used on page baked memory, and if this is
using page backed memory you wouldn't need to do thee phys_to_virt
tricks.  Can someone explain the mess here in more detail?

Why not use a net_device_context local variable instead of this cast
galore?
