I gone through the function amdgpu_gem_create_ioctl(), it reads the
physical alignment in bytes from userspace, does i915 round up the size
value to the alignment or does i915 fails the allocation request if size
is not aligned with min_page_size? If not, I think running unigine
heaven or similar benchmark triggers BUG_ON() on current version of drm
buddy

we can follow the same here too, failing the allocation request if size
is not aligned with min_page_size?
I added a debug print for requested num_pages from userspace and its
alignment request and executed unigine heaven, I see many such instances
where min_page_size is not aligned to the size, how i915 handles such
requests?
