Not exactly.  The UNMAP proposal will have no alignment requirements
but will also make it up to the device (array) to decide what to unmap.

I expect implementations to pick out the chunks that can be unmapped
from the ranges that are passed in, and ignore the partial chunks.
As noted in a previous message, the chunk size will be reported in a
VPD page.
