> Currently, addresses are chunk size aligned. This means, we are very
> restricted in terms of where we can place chunk within the umem. For
> example, if we have a chunk size of 2k, then our chunks can only be placed at
> 0,2k,4k,6k,8k... and so on (ie. every 2k starting from 0).
> 
> This patch introduces the ability to use unaligned chunks. With these
> changes, we are no longer bound to having to place chunks at a 2k (or
> whatever your chunk size is) interval. Since we are no longer dealing with
> aligned chunks, they can now cross page boundaries. Checks for page
> contiguity have been added in order to keep track of which pages are
> followed by a physically contiguous page.
