This property is more generic than the nvdimm namespace mapping size,
it's more the fundamental remap granularity that the architecture
supports. So I would expect this to be defined in core header files.
Something like:

Should that be memremap_pages_min_align()?

No, and on second look it needs to be a common value that results in
properly aligned / sized namespaces across architectures.

What would it take for Power to make it's minimum mapping granularity
SUBSECTION_SIZE? The minute that the minimum alignment changes across
architectures we lose compatibility.

The namespaces need to be sized such that the mode can be changed freely.


Linux on ppc64 with hash translation use just one page size for direct mapping and that is 16MB.
