+/**
+ * node_map_pfn_alignment - determine the maximum internode alignment
+ *
+ * This function should be called after node map is populated and sorted.
+ * It calculates the maximum power of two alignment which can distinguish
+ * all the nodes.
+ *
+ * For example, if all nodes are 1GiB and aligned to 1GiB, the return value
+ * would indicate 1GiB alignment with (1 << (30 - PAGE_SHIFT)).  If the
+ * nodes are shifted by 256MiB, 256MiB.  Note that if only the last node is
+ * shifted, 1GiB is enough and this function will indicate so.
+ *
+ * This is used to test whether pfn -> nid mapping of the chosen memory
+ * model has fine enough granularity to avoid incorrect mapping for the
+ * populated node map.
+ *
+ * Returns the determined alignment in pfn's.  0 if there is no alignment
+ * requirement (single node).
