Just to be clear here, "64K GTT" is not just the GTT alignment but also 
the requirement that the device/physical address of the underlying 
memory also has 64K alignment, and ofc is also 64K of contiguous memory. 
We can easily guarantee that with lmem, but with smem it might be more 
tricky (like shmem). Also I'm not sure if there is already a mechanism 
to request some kind of min alignment/page-size with the dma-api, but 
perhaps something like that could work here?
