One of the consumers of a page aligned buffer would be posix's readv fop on O_DIRECT fds. Today the way it works is by getting a page-aligned buffer through calloc, pread()ing into this buffer and then copying its contents into a newly created iobuf's ptr. This results in an extra memcpy() which can be avoided if we could implement an api that would return an iobuf whose ptr is page-aligned. That way the iobuf->ptr can be directly passed to sys_pread() as a parameter by posix translator.
