I'm afraid the pool of free pages should be per-device, not per-ring.

The same for the pool of persistent grants, it should be per-device and
not per-ring.

And I think this issue is far worse than the others, because a frontend
might use a persistent grant on different queues, forcing the backend
map the grant several times for each queue, this is not acceptable IMO.
