The kernel could report the true alignment from the ioctl instead of 0.

Yes, the minimum alignment of allocations is always 4096 because that's
the page size of the GPU.

No, we have tons of places where we don't specify and alignment for
buffers because it never mattered. I certainly don't want to fix all of
those.
