Namespace start address and size should be multiple of subsection size to avoid
handling complex partial subsection addition and removal of memory. Even though
subsection size is arch independent (2M), architectures do impose further
restrictions w.r.t namespace size/start addr based on direct-mapping  page size.

This patch adds an arch callback for supporting arch specific restrictions w.r.t
namespace size. This is different from arch_namespace_map_size() in that this
validates against SUBSECTION_SIZE. Ideally, kernel should use the same restrictions
during namespace initialization too. But that prevents an existing unaligned
namespace initialization to fail. The kernel now allows such namespace initialization
so that an existing installation is not broken.

I think we only need memremap_compat_align() to default to the
subsection size with the option for Power to override it to 16MiB.
