Again this seems strange. It's a bit unlikely to have a large BAR that
wouldn't be well aligned, but this change is now requiring all P2P
memory to be aligned to 1GB if the CPU supports PUDs. So if a particular
device only has a small (say 256MB) imperfectly aligned bar it may now
fail to be registered.
I don't think the alignment should be a property of the device. When a
mapping is created, if everything is aligned appropriately, and there is
enough free aligned P2PDMA memory, then it should map a full PUD page.
There shouldn't be other restrictions placed on the hardware to make
this work.
