arm/arm64: KVM: relax the requirements of VMA alignment for THP The THP code in KVM/ARM is a bit restrictive in not allowing a THP to be used if the VMA is not 2MB aligned. Actually, it is not so much the VMA that matters, but the associated memslot: A process can perfectly mmap a region with no particular alignment restriction, and then pass a 2MB aligned address to KVM. In this case, KVM will only use this 2MB aligned region, and will ignore the range between vma->vm_start and memslot->userspace_addr. It can also choose to place this memslot at whatever alignment it wants in the IPA space. In the end, what matters is the relative alignment of the user space and IPA mappings with respect to a 2M page. They absolutely must be the same if you want to use THP.
