This gets into some spec type trouble for creating an IO submission
queue. We use the sq_dma_addr as the PRP entry to the Create I/O
SQ command, which has some requirements:

  "the PRP Entry shall have an offset of 0h."

So this has to be 4k aligned, but pci_alloc_p2pmem doesn't guarantee
that. I doubt the spec's intention was to require such alignment for
CMB SQs, but there may be controllers enforcing the rule as written.
