Yes. arm32 (and before the dma-direct conversion various other
architectures) have relaxed the required to a PAGE_SIZE alignment,
and at least no native dma direct has ever returned less than PAGE_SIZE
alignment even for smaller allocations (as they are all rounded up
to PAGE_SIZE). So I think the documentation could also use some
updating to match reality.
