Namespace start address and size should be multiple of subsection size to avoid handling complex partial subsection addition and removal of memory. Even though subsection size is arch independent (2M), architectures do impose further restrictions w.r.t namespace size/start addr based on direct-mapping page size.
This patch adds an arch callback for supporting arch specific restrictions w.r.t namespace size. This is different from arch_namespace_map_size() in that this validates against SUBSECTION_SIZE. Ideally, kernel should use the same restrictions during namespace initialization too. But that prevents an existing unaligned namespace initialization to fail. The kernel now allows such namespace initialization so that an existing installation is not broken.
