Changes in "request_mem_region()" ("__request_region()")
now seem to force PCI/Bus alignment upon the requested region.
It appears as though somebody thought this would only used
to reserve address-space on a PCI/Bus.

Hello, more problems are being found with linux-2.6.13
Some imaging systems reserve large amounts of
contiguous DMA RAM (16 megabytes) by booting
with 'mem='. In the subject systems, we boot
with "mem=768m" which makes the first available
RAM at 768 * 1024 * 1024 = 0x3000.
