The current alignment of 4 bytes is too low. Access to 64-bit data via ldrd/strd requires at least an eight byte alignment: | Prior to ARMv6, if the memory address is not 64-bit aligned, the | data read from memory is UNPREDICTABLE. Alignment checking (taking | a data abort), and support for a big-endian (BE-32) data format are | implementation options. We already have at least an 8 byte alignment for dlmalloc, so have TLSF follow suit.
