Historically, all memory returned from spdk_*malloc()
used to be physically contiguous, hence it could be
addressed by offsetting just a single physical address.
Since DPDK dynamic memory management came along, the
above is no longer true. Memory returned from spdk_*malloc()
doesn't have to be physically contiguous anymore. The
phys_addr returned from spdk_*malloc() only applies to
the beginning of the allocated buffer and user can't
possibly know how big that "beginning" is.
The phys_addr parameter in spdk_*malloc() is useless on
its own in most cases and only suggests that the returned
buffer is physically contiguous, which is wrong.
This information can be returned from spdk_vtophys(),
which is the only safe way to retrieve physical addresses.
That's why phys_addr param in spdk_*malloc() is now
deprecated.
