Isn't the issue that we are allowing a size that is not aligned to the 
requested min_page_size? Should we not fix the caller(and throw a normal 
error here), or perhaps add the round_up() here instead?

i.e if someone does:

alloc_blocks(mm, 0, end, 4096, 1<<16, &blocks, flags);

This will still trigger the BUG_ON() even if we move it out of the loop, 
AFAICT.
