The device communicates FUSE_SETUPMAPPING/FUSE_REMOVMAPPING alignment constraints via the FUST_INIT map_alignment field. Parse this field and ensure our DAX mappings meet the alignment constraints. We don't actually align anything differently since our mappings are already 2MB aligned. Just check the value when the connection is established. If it becomes necessary to honor arbitrary alignments in the future we'll have to adjust how mappings are sized. The upshot of this commit is that we can be confident that mappings will work even when emulating x86 on Power and similar combinations where the host page sizes are different.

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.
