+ * The memremap() and memremap_pages() interfaces are alternately used
+ * to map persistent memory namespaces. These interfaces place different
+ * constraints on the alignment and size of the mapping (namespace).
+ * memremap() can map individual PAGE_SIZE pages. memremap_pages() can
+ * only map subsections (2MB), and at least one architecture (PowerPC)
+ * the minimum mapping granularity of memremap_pages() is 16MB.
+ *
+ * The role of memremap_compat_align() is to communicate the minimum
+ * arch supported alignment of a namespace such that it can freely
+ * switch modes without violating the arch constraint. Namely, do not
+ * allow a namespace to be PAGE_SIZE aligned since that namespace may be
+ * reconfigured into a mode that requires SUBSECTION_SIZE alignment.
