Bug#990279: 9a89a721b41b (" drm/amdgpu: check alignment on CPU page for bo map") breaks amdgpu on ppc64 machines?



It occurs to me, quite belatedly, that it may be worth asking the
author, reviewers, and signers of the change in question their
thoughts on this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990279

In particular, on ppc64 systems, Linux typically is configured to use
a 64KiB page (i.e., shift 16) rather than 4KiB (shift 12) page.  It
looks, however, that AMDGPU_GPU_PAGE_SIZE is always 4096, and so
something (perhaps in userspace, even, eek?) is requesting
4KiB-but-not-64KiB alignment of this buffer.

Any insight you could offer would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
