Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing

When configuring a pfn-device instance to allocate the memmap array it needs to account for the fact that vmemmap_populate_hugepages() allocates struct page blocks in HPAGE_SIZE chunks. We need to align the reserved area size to 2MB otherwise arch_add_memory() runs out of memory while establishing the memmap:
