  Mempool is a generic allocator that is not necessarily used
for device IO operations and its memory for DMA.
Add MEMPOOL_F_NON_IO flag to mark such mempools automatically
a) if their objects are not contiguous;
b) if IOVA is not available for any object.
Other components can inspect this flag
in order to optimize their memory management.
