The comment is confusing. On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero. On the other hand, it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually used. This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee, just less obvious. Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits are available and why. Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available. I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked at build time.
