We used to check that the memory region size is multiples of the overall
requested address alignment for the device memory address.

We removed that check, because there are cases (i.e., hv-balloon) where
devices unconditionally request an address alignment that has a very large
alignment (i.e., 32 GiB), but the actual memory device size might not be
multiples of that alignment.

However, this change:

(a) allows for some practically impossible DIMM sizes, like "1GB+1 byte".
(b) allows for DIMMs that partially cover hugetlb pages, previously
    reported in [1].

Both scenarios don't make any sense: we might even waste memory.

So let's reintroduce that check, but only check that the
memory region size is multiples of the memory region alignment (i.e.,
page size, huge page size), but not any additional memory device
requirements communicated using md->get_min_alignment().

The following examples now fail again as expected:

(a) 1M with 2M THP
 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4g,maxmem=16g,slots=1 -S -nodefaults -nographic \
                     -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1M \
                     -device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
 -> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(b) 1G+1byte

 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4g,maxmem=16g,slots=1 -S -nodefaults -nographic \
                   -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1073741825B \
                   -device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
 -> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(c) Unliagned hugetlb size (2M)

 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4g,maxmem=16g,slots=1 -S -nodefaults -nographic \
                   -object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/tmp,size=511M \
                   -device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
 backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(d) Unliagned hugetlb size (1G)

 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4g,maxmem=16g,slots=1 -S -nodefaults -nographic \
                    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,mem-path=/dev/hugepages1G/tmp,size=2047M \
                    -device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
 -> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x40000000

Note that this fix depends on a hv-balloon change to communicate its
additional alignment requirements using get_min_alignment() instead of
through the memory region.

[PATCH v1 2/2] memory-device: reintroduce memory region size check

Test on 64k basic page size aarch64
The patches work well on my Ampere host.
The test results are as expected.

(a) 1M with 512M THP
/home/zhenyzha/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox on \
:
-nodefaults \
-m 4096,maxmem=32G,slots=4 \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1M \
-device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 \
-smp 4  \
-cpu 'host' \
-accel kvm \
-monitor stdio
-> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(b) 1G+1byte
/home/zhenyzha/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox on \
:
-nodefaults \

-device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 \
-smp 4  \
-cpu 'host' \
-accel kvm \
-monitor stdio
-> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(c) Unliagned hugetlb size (2M)
/home/zhenyzha/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox on \
:
-nodefaults \
-m 4096,maxmem=32G,slots=4 \
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/mnt/kvm_hugepage,size=2047M
\
-device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 \
-smp 4  \
-cpu 'host' \
-accel kvm \
-monitor stdio
-> backend memory size must be multiple of 0x200000

(d)  2M with 512M hugetlb size
/home/zhenyzha/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox on \

-device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 \
-smp 4  \
-cpu 'host' \
-accel kvm \
-monitor stdio
-> memory size 0x200000 must be equal to or larger than page size 0x20000000

(e)  511M with 512M hugetlb size
/home/zhenyzha/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox on \
:
-nodefaults \
-m 4096,maxmem=32G,slots=4 \

-device pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 \
-smp 4  \
-cpu 'host' \
-accel kvm \
-monitor stdio
-> memory size 0x1ff00000 must be equal to or larger than page size 0x20000000
