Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] acpi,srat: give memory block size advice based on CFMWS alignment

Capacity is stranded when CFMWS regions are not aligned to block size.
On x86, block size increases with capacity (2G blocks @ 64G capacity).

Use CFMWS base/size to report memory block size alignment advice.
