Certain devices can possess non-standard memory capacities, not constrained
to multiples of 1GB. Provide a kernel parameter so that we can map the
device memory completely on memory hotplug.

Restrict memory_block_size value to a power of 2 value similar to LMB size.
The memory block size should also be more than the section size.
