While the patch is probably fine, I find the above explanation quite
confusing :)

>From my memory (vague now) of the scheme we put in place, we need to
practically reserve a portion of address space that corresponds to
VF_size * Number_of_PEs. IE, it's not just the alignment that has
constraints but also the size that need to be allocated.

Now I suppose if we make the alignment to be the size of the M64
window and if the core also bounces the allocated size to the
alignment boundary, then we are fine, but that should be explained.

Cheers,
Ben.
