The alignment callback returns a proposed location, which may have been adjusted to avoid ISA aliases or for other architecture-specific reasons. We already had a check ("tmp.start < tmp.end") to make sure the callback doesn't return a location above the available area. This patch adds a check to make sure the callback doesn't return something *below* the available area, as may happen if the callback tries to allocate top-down.
