The reason for removing this check is that I don't know how much memory can
any user process ask for DSP PD initialization. There are some cases where huge
memory requirement can come. As for the expectation, any memory allocated here
will get completely added to DSP PD. I understand your concern but can you please
suggest any way I can have some bound-check to handle this also(requirement more
than 5MB)? The memory is allocated using SMMU context banks which is uniquely
assigned to process so the max allocation can go upto 4GB per process as per my
understanding.
