I am still trying to wrap my brain around your alternative
search algorithm, not sure if/how it can be combined with
arbitrary address limits and alignment...

for alignment we can do: len += align - 1;

We could, but that might lead us to returning -ENOMEM
when we actually have memory available.

When you consider architectures like HPPA, which use
a pretty large alignment, but align everything the same,
chances are pretty much every freed hole will have the
right alignment...

Will indeed need to ponder the range thing ;-)
