I am still trying to wrap my brain around your alternative

for alignment we can do: len += align - 1;
We could, but that might lead us to returning -ENOMEM
when we actually have memory available.
When you consider architectures like HPPA, which use
a pretty large alignment, but align everything the same,
chances are pretty much every freed hole will have the
right alignment...
Will indeed need to ponder the range thing ;-)
