This alarmed me; I don't want to see VIAs problem become a DRM wide rule. But it seems as if this alignment is enforced only through the device specific code (xxx_mm.c), and that there really is nothing to worry about. Has me wondering though; Why does sis_mm.c enforce the same alignment? Is this just a safe value? Why does this need to be overridden? Do some engines on some sis hardware require wider alignment, while normal alignment needs to be 16 bytes? Anyway, that's driver specific, not set in stone.
