The guest allocation wrapper aligned only the total memory block but did not guarantee that the pointer returned to the user was itself properly aligned. This patch attempts to fix that. It also adds alloc_aligned function which would be tricky to implement outside the guest but will make implementing other posix like allocation API much easier.
