UMR MTTs used in striding RQ have certain alignment requirements. While it's guaranteed to work when UMR pages are aligned to the UMR page size, in practice it works then UMR pages are aligned to 8 bytes. However, it's still not enough flexibility for the unaligned mode of XSK. This patch leverages KSM to map UMR pages without alignment requirements, when unaligned XSK is active. The downside is that KSM entries are twice as big as MTTs, which limits the maximum WQE size, so regular RQs and aligned XSK continue using MTTs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
