This is a step in the right direction, thanks for pursuing it. It might be better to put the pagealignmem file (and maybe just call it "resource_alignment") into the sysfs directory for the device instead though, then we could write various alignment constraints to it and hot plug as you suggest. Also, there have been some discussions about using fakephp for non- testing purposes; cc'ing Alex for his comments there.
