Is this actually something that would be appropriate to implement with extension types? It just requires that the mask parameter of pa.Array actually be used with Pandas integer columns, right?

> From https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/4168. We should add support for pandas' nullable Integer extension dtypes, as those could map nicely to arrows integer types. 
> Ideally this happens in a generic way though, and not specific for this extension type, which is discussed in ARROW-5271
