Again, can you elaborate with some specific concerns?

There are drawbacks with this approach. The TTM alignment is a hard 
constraint. Assume that you want to fit a 1GB buffer object into limited 
VRAM space, and _if possible_ use PUD size huge pages. Let's say there 
is 1GB available, but not 1GB aligned. The proper alignment approach 
would fail and possibly start to evict stuff from VRAM just to be able 
to accomodate the PUD alignment. That's bad. The approach I suggest 
would instead fall back to PMD alignment and use 2MB page table entries 
if possible, and as a last resort use 4K page table entries.

Or do I misunderstand how you envision enforcing the alignment?

Thanks,

Thomas
