May I suggest doing that "force bouncing" and "change kmalloc to have
a 8-byte minalign" to be the two first commits?

IOW, if we force bouncing for unaligned DMA, then that *should* mean
that allocation alignment is no longer a correctness issue, it's
purely a performance one due to the bouncing.

So then the rest of the series should be about "ok, this is actually a
hot enough allocation that I want to force alignment", and be purely
about performance, not correctness.

No?
