Description
The alignment logic for MPU on cortex-m in tockloader only checks if the app is aligned based on its entire size. However, the cortex-m mpu code includes more logic for using subregions:
Tockloader should replicate the same logic to provide a more accurate warning for apps which are not aligned to their entire size.
