This was not my suggestion 😊. I don't think the register API should do the mapping as well.
My thoughts were on one of the two options:
1. have the series I propose here, and enable the user to work with memory managed outside of DPDK. Either force the user to call rte_extmem_register before the mapping or devices which needs memory to be also registered in the DPDK system can fail the mapping.
2. not providing such option to application, and forcing applications to populate a socket w/ external memory.
I vote for #1.
