May be or may not be, if it should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE, then MIPS
and ARM64 also need this.

Alpha's pcibios_align_resource() have nothing to do with PAGE_SIZE,
pnv_pci_default_alignment() seems to be the case. But if alignment is
really needed, I think it is better to provide a
pcibios_default_alignment() as powerpc.
