memory-device: Support big alignment requirements

Let's warn instead of bailing out - the worst thing that can happen is
that we'll fail hot/coldplug later. The user got warned, and this should
be rare.

This will be necessary for memory devices with rather big (user-defined)
alignment requirements - say a virtio-mem device with a 2G block size -
which will become important, for example, when supporting vfio in the
future.
