The RPC/RDMA transport's FRWR registration logic registers whole
pages. This means areas in the first and last pages that are not
involved in the RDMA I/O are needlessly exposed to the server.
Buffered I/O is typically page-aligned, so not a problem there. But
for direct I/O, which can be byte-aligned, and for reply chunks,
which are nearly always smaller than a page, the transport could
expose memory outside the I/O buffer.
FRWR allows byte-aligned memory registration, so let's use it as
it was intended.
