+AD4- For HS38, we intend to bypass the frame buffer traffic from IOC port. So the frame
+AD4- buffer start needs to be inside the IOC aperture base address. That value can't be
+AD4- arbitrary - it is atleast 4K aligned value and further also needs to be aligned to
+AD4- the size of aperture. So if the size is 16M it needs to be 16M aligned etc...

The point is we want to put frame buffer memory OUTSIDE IOC aperture.
So we allocate FB memory in the very end of DDR which is far away from IOC.

And in that case IOC alignment issues are out of the question here.
