psb_gtt_alloc_range() already aligns by PAGE_SIZE for us. Looks like
we align a couple of times extra for luck. This needs cleaning up
instead of adding even more aligns.

Your size calculation looks correct and indeed makes my 1024x600 +
1920x1080 setup actually display something, but for some reason I get
an incorrect panning on the smaller screen and stale data on the
surface only visible by the larger CRTC. Any idea what's going on?
