Originally I've passed gap size explicitly from board to make it more universal,
but was asked to make it this way so now gap is upto backends alignment size
(i.e. for PPC it could endup with 64K or 256M gaps depending on which backend
is used).
If above doesn't fit PPC model well we can switch back to passing gap
size from board so that board would decide what gap size is.
