Hi Olav,

zsmalloc encodes a handle using the page pfn and an object
index. On some hardware platforms the pfn could be 0 and this
causes the encoded handle to be 0 which is interpreted as an
allocation failure.

To prevent this false error we ensure that the encoded handle
will not be 0 when allocation succeeds.

As suggestion you could use a macro instead of hardcoded 1.

I am not familiar with this code, but if it's a valid test to verify if
the resulting address is page aligned, you might want to set this
offset macro to a page aligned value as well.

Ditto.
