There isn't any  restriction for outbound ATU on ep,  Although I tried
alignment from
SZ_1 - SZ_256K and each failed at several points.

With GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA, as in my previous dump here the address too
is not aligned to 256 but still read passes.
root@hihope-rzg2m:~# pcitest -r -s 16384
 [  186.629347] pci-endpoint-test 0000:01:00.0: pci_endpoint_test_read
kzalloc:ffff00003b848000 dma:7b848000 align:ffff00003b848000
READ (  16384 bytes):           OKAY

And I have verified with GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA on my platform
everything works as expected,

So how about a patch for pci_endpoint_test.c, where flags are passed
as  part of driver_data and it defaults to just GFP_KERNEL ?
