    x86/grant: disallow misaligned PTEs
    
    Pagetable entries must be aligned to function correctly.  Disallow attempts
    from the guest to have a grant PTE created at a misaligned address, which
    would result in corruption of the L1 table with largely-guest-controlled
    values.
    
    This is CVE-2017-12137 / XSA-227.
