This series [1] reduced the kmalloc() minimum alignment on arm64 to 8 bytes
(from 128). In libsas, this will cause SMP requests to be 8-byte aligned
through kmalloc() allocation. However, for hisi_sas hardware, all command
addresses must be 16-byte-aligned. Otherwise, the commands fail to be
executed.
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN represents the minimum (static) alignment for safe DMA
operations, so use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as the alignment for SMP request.
