perhaps, it is better for us to slow down here.

1) This change does not break any upstream code.
   is there downstream code which is publicly visible and is broken by
   this change ?

2) IMO, the spec may be right.
   The type of size is enough to express any alignment wanted.
   For several kernel allocators. type of 'alignment' should be the type
   of 'size', NOT the type of 'address'
