Add a new function to "adjust" the current fixed UV memory block size of 2GB so it can be changed to a different physical boundary. This is out of necessity so arch dependent code can accommodate specific BIOS requirements which can align these new PMEM modules at less than the default boundaries. A "set order" type of function was used to insure that the memory block size will be a power of two value without requiring a validity check. 64GB was chosen as the upper limit for memory block size values to accommodate upcoming 4PB systems which have 6 more bits of physical address space (46 becoming 52).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
