The 'waker' function we call knows that, we don't; see the
'vhost_user_postcopy_waker' in the next patch, and it hunts down whether
the address the waker is called for is one it's responsible for.
Also note that a shared page might be shared between multiple other
programs - not just one. In our case that could be two vhost-user
devices wired to two separate processes.

Hmm can you explain that a bit more?
