 * Name: memalign
 *
 * Description:
 *   memalign requests more than enough space from malloc, finds a region
 *   within that chunk that meets the alignment request and then frees any
 *   leading or trailing space.
 *
 *   The alignment argument must be a power of two (not checked).  8-byte
 *   alignment is guaranteed by normal malloc calls.
 *

   * occurs. If we fail to allocate memory on the first pass, then call
   * sbrk to extend the heap by one page.  This may require several
   * passes if more the size of the allocation is more than one page.
   *
   * An alternative would be to increase the size of the heap by the
   * full requested allocation in sbrk().  Then the loop should never
   * execute more than twice (but more memory than we need may be
   * allocated).
