if you check how it's used:

+       init_extra_mapping_uc(UV_GLOBAL_MMR32_BASE, UV_GLOBAL_MMR32_SIZE);
+       init_extra_mapping_uc(UV_LOCAL_MMR_BASE, UV_LOCAL_MMR_SIZE);

those base/size pairs are really supposed to be aligned on 2MB. I.e. 
this is a really 'impossible' scenario that is not really driven by any 
external factor (hw or driver detail) and a compact check for it is 
acceptable too.
