add_memmap() will also add memory range with type RANGE_ACPI and
RANGE_ACPI_NVS (RANGE_RESERVED in the future) besides RANGE_RAM to
memmap_p.

Among these types of memory range, only RANGE_RAM needs to
be aligned with certain alignment. RANGE_ACPI, RANGE_ACPI_NVS and
RANGE_RESERVED doesn't have to be aligned.

I'll add above comment to the patch description.

Will do.
