I really dislike this.  This is a problem for any architecture that
runs on larger pages, and even an annoyance on 4k hosts.  Why are we
only solving it for PPC64?  Can't we do something similar in the core
PCI code and detect it?

Why is this on the device info, shouldn't it be per region?  Do we even
need a flag or can we just set the existing mmap flag with the
clarification that sub-host page size regions can mmap an entire host-
page aligned, sized area in the documentation?  Thanks,

Alex
