when calling this, I think it targets a usersapce program, why kernel 
space need it, so IMHO no harm if we check this to keep the parent 
driver robust.

If it is not page aligned, there would be extra complexities for 
vhost/qemu, I see it as a hardware defect, why adapt to this kind of 
defects?
