Introduce a device align attribute. While doing so, rename the region align attribute to be more explicitly named as so, but keep it named as @align to retain the API for tools like daxctl. Changes on align may not always be valid, when say certain mappings were created with 2M and then we switch to 1G. So, we validate all ranges against the new value being attempted, post resizing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
