OK, I've reviewed everything. Testing looks good with the change I
mentioned (memremap_compat_align returning PAGE_SIZE). I made sure a
4k-aligned namespace created under an unpatched kernel would be
accessible under a patched kernel. I also made sure that manually
setting align would allow for creating of poorly aligned namespaces, and
that those namespaces were then accessible on the unpatched kernel.
Thanks, Dan!
