The PAGE_SHIFT alignment restriction to devm_gen_pool_create() quickly
exhaust local memory because most allocations are much smaller than
PAGE_SIZE. This causes USB device failures such as
usb 1-2.1: reset full-speed USB device number 4 using sm501-usb
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x03 driverbyte=0x00
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 08 7c 00 00 f0 00
print_req_error: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2172 flags 80700
when trying to boot from the SM501 USB controller on SH4 with QEMU.
Align allocations as required but not necessarily much more than that.
The HCCA, TD and ED structures align with 256, 32 and 16 byte memory
boundaries, as specified by the Open HCI[1]. The min_alloc_order argument
to devm_gen_pool_create is now somewhat arbitrarily set to 4 (16 bytes).
Perhaps it could be somewhat lower for general buffer allocations.

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.
