Subject: mm/vmalloc: check various alignments when debugging
Before we did not guarantee a free block with lowest start address for
allocations with alignment >= PAGE_SIZE. Because an alignment overhead
was included into a search length like below:
length = size + align - 1;
doing so we make sure that a bigger block would fit after applying an
alignment adjustment. Now there is no such limitation, i.e. any
alignment that user wants to apply will result to a lowest address of
returned free area.
