This patch series update memmap on memory feature to fall back to
memmap allocation outside the memory block if the alignment rules are
not met. This makes the feature more useful on architectures like
ppc64 where alignment rules are different with 64K page size.

This patch series is dependent on dax vmemmap optimization series
