be on GUP users, so if hardware is not ODP capable then you should at
least be able to kill the mapping/GUP and force the hardware to redo a

do that ? Or is it out of the question ?
For RDMA we can have the HW forcibly tear down the MR, but it is
incredibly disruptive and nobody running applications would be happy
with this outcome.
