When vmemmap_populate() allocates space for the memmap it does so in 2MB
sized chunks. The libnvdimm-pfn driver incorrectly accounts for this
when the alignment of the device is set to 4K. When this happens we
trigger memory allocation failures in altmap_alloc_block_buf() and
trigger warnings of the form:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3376 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656 arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0
 [..]
