We are doing page-based allocations, and both the address
and size must meet alignment constraints, so using "align"
for the size alignment is a better choice.

Why is it a better choice? If I allocate a 2 MB aligned block of
memory, why is it better to align the size to a multiple of 2 MB as
well?

Hi Ard,
Thanks for your reply.
In my understanding address and size need to meet consistent alignment
constraints,If I understand wrong, please reject this patch.
Best,
GaoSheng.
