percpu: increase minimum percpu allocation size and align first regions
This patch increases the minimum allocation size of percpu memory to 4-bytes. This change will help minimize the metadata overhead associated with the bitmap allocator. The assumption is that most allocations will be of objects or structs greater than 2 bytes with integers or longs being used rather than shorts. The first chunk regions are now aligned with the minimum allocation size. The reserved region is expected to be set as a multiple of the minimum allocation size. The static region is aligned up and the delta is removed from the dynamic size. This works because the dynamic size is increased to be page aligned. If the static size is not minimum allocation size aligned, then there must be a gap that is added to the dynamic size. The dynamic size will never be smaller than the set value.
