Can all these invariant checks that return -ENOMEM be grouped together, as
it seems we have ...

...a whole bunch of single conditions with the same body, can be combined
with one:

if (a)
   return d;
if (b)
   return d;
if (c)
   return d;

->

if (a || b || c)
   return d;

Do you need parens around the sub-expression `(sgs_per_dev * numdevs)`?

Just my notes, since this block could use another eye for review:

Ok, so this replaces sizeof(_aab->__asp2d).

And this replaces sizeof(_aab->__a1pa[0]);

This replaces sizeof(_aab->__a1pa[pages_in_unit]);

Replaces sizeof(*_aab);

This is the trickiest part of this patch IMO, I think it needs careful
review, but looks correct to me.

Can you DRY up `sp2d->_1p_stripes[i]`? ex.

struct _1p_stripes* stripe;

for (i = 0; i < pages_in_unit; ...
   ...
   stripe = &sp2d->_1p_stripes[i];
   stripe->pages = (void*)__a1pa;
   stripe->scribble = stripe->pages + group_width;
   stripe->page_is_read = (char*)stripe->scribble + group_width;

The sizeof calculations replacing the VLAIS I pointed out are pretty tricky
to follow, but I feel pretty confident about this patch.  With the changes
I recommend, feel free to add my Reviewed-by tag.  It would be good to get
additional review and testing from the maintainer.

Thanks for taking the time to tackle this.
