The alignment in the driver is pretty crazy because it's all unnecessary
and so complicated. Every allocation is 4 bytes extra so we can align
it later.
Also every buffer is called "pbuf" which stands for pointer to buffer.
"pallocated_buf" is not really useful either.
I tried to look at this to see if we could change the alignment, and
it's complicated because of the naming and the alignment.
