yes, for contiguous we don't have the 2MB limit, hence we are setting to 
maximum to avoid restricting the min_block_size to 2MB limitation.

Here I removed the TTM_PL_FLAG_CONTIGUOUS. AFAIU, in both cases (BO 
pinning and normal contiguous request)
this flag AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CONTIGUOUS is always set.

AFAIU, if this flag AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CONTIGUOUS is set, we are 
setting the pages_per_block as maximal, thus
we dont limit the BO. when we set the pages_per_block as maximal, the 
min_block_size would be the tbo->page_alignment,
and this tbo->page_alignment would be the same value as the required 
size. Required size can be less than 2MB or more than 2MB.
Below we have check size >= pages_per_block, when the pages_per_block is 
maximal we don't limit the min_block_size.

sure, I will try to rewrite the code.

sure.
