One of the more common algorithms used for allocation
is to align the start address of the allocation to
the order of size requested. Add this as an algorithm
option for genalloc.

Good idea, I didn't know this even existed!

It doesn't look unused to me.

Why isn't the order just order?

I did some bad math somewhere. All we really need is 

unsigned long align_mask = roundup_pow_of_two(nr) - 1;

Which means the data would actually be unused. I'll fix it in the next
version.

Thanks,
