Does this happen in practise or this you found it by reading the code?

Ble, this just overcomplicate things. Can we just make sure that the
proper alignment is done in ioremap_page_range which is the only caller
of this (and add VM_BUG_ON in ioremap_pud_range to make sure no new
caller will forget about that).

maybe WARN_ON_ONCE would be sufficient to prevent from swamping logs if
something just happens to do this too often in some pathological path.

	end = round_up(end, PAGE_SIZE);

wouldn't work?
