I don't know of any alignment restrictions other than that specified
in the BAR.  SeaBIOS doesn't setup MTRRs right now for pref mem.

Looks like each bus uses 1meg alignment for all devices on that bus.

As far as I'm aware, it would be possible to use RamSize (or better
yet, the e820 map).

I'm not really an expert here though - Isaku may know more.
