After I found out that this was happening to all PCI devices on powerpc due to the __weak pcibios_default_alignment() interface (necessary for VFIO passthrough and performance), I confess that this was my first approach to this matter; however I couldn't vouch the need of these messages on other architectures.
If there are no further concerns, I definitely prefer sending a second version of this patch only eliminating these messages and attesting the reason why.
Thank you very much for your review Bjorn,
