I think for all the network storage stuff we really need a "send me out a page helper", and the nvmet bits that Dave pointed to look to me like they actually are currently broken.
Given that Dave doesn't want to change the kernel_sendpage semantics I'll resend with a new helper instead. Any preferences for a name? safe_sendpage? kernel_sendpage_safe? kernel_send_one_page?
