The problem with registering the entire hotplugged memory
region is that it won't necessarily be unregistered in one
go. Registering each hugepage separately solves that
problem.
This puts a limitation on the number of pages that can
be allocated when using RDMA. We'll hopefully lift this
limitation sometime in future - probably levereging
ibv_rereg_mr, but for now we'll have to resort to either:
a) using 1GB hugepages
b) preallocating memory (with [-s|--mem-size <size>] app
param) as it will be registered as just one region no
matter what size it is. This memory won't be returned
to the system until the SPDK app exits.
