Linux kernel expects nodes to have power-of-two size and
does WARN_ON if this is not the case:
[ 0.041456] WARNING: at drivers/base/memory.c:115
which is:
===
/* Validate blk_sz is a power of 2 and not less than section size */
if ((block_sz & (block_sz - 1)) || (block_sz < MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE)) {
WARN_ON(1);
block_sz = MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE;
}
===
This splits memory nodes into set of smaller blocks with
a size which is a power of two. This makes sure the start
address of every node is aligned to the node size.
