This allow us to add a buffer to the iovec to send without copying it
into the static buffer.

It should not be complex to check if f->iov[f->iovcnt - 1] can be
extended?  This could remove many system calls when you have many
consecutive zero pages.

Can you add a "flag" or something to indicate that the iov pointer 
belongs to RAM and not to device state?

That way, I could re-use this code for RDMA - if I see this flag, I will 
know to send to RDMA.....

This function is called only for ram pages so no need for flag.

I am not sure you can, because the function will be preceded by
a qemu_put_be64 to store the header.  That header is not sent in
the RDMA case, isn't it?

Right, the header's not used - but, are we certain that 
put_buffer_copy() will *always* be used for RAM in the future?

I think you should not make any assumption and proceed as if this
series didn't exist.
