+ * Remove NVDIMM auto-alignment for pSeries Guests

+ This feature was introduced in libvirt v6.2.0 as part of the overall
+ NVDIMM support for pSeries guests. The idea was to relieve the user

+ ended up with inconsistencies between domain XML and actual NVDIMM

+ and the guest, unaligned NVDIMM sizes for pSeries guests will now be

s/forbid/forbidden/
