Subject: mm: warn on unaligned compound zone device ranges
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:13:34 +0800

A compound page of order N must start at a PFN aligned to 2^N pages. 
Therefore, a range used to initialize compound pages must start on a
compound-page boundary and contain an integral number of compound pages.

Two recent Device DAX bugs were caused by ranges that violated this
invariant, but neither was detected by memmap_init_zone_device().

Warn if the adjusted zone-device range violates this invariant so future
violations are reported when the compound pages are initialized.
