I think it worth mentioning that the '.offset' is not really accurate
when the page is split, as we do not really know what is the offset of
the frag of a page except for the first frag.

I am not sure if it is correct to use pp.init_arg here, as it is supposed to
be used along with init_callback. And if we want to change the implemetation
of init_callback, we may stuck with it as the driver is using it very
differently here.

Is it possible to pass the 'wanted true size' by adding a parameter for
libie_rx_alloc()?
