The thing you propose, the double search, once for len, and once for len
+align-1 doesn't guarantee you'll find a hole. All holes of len might be
mis-aligned but the len+align-1 search might overlook a hole of suitable
size and alignment, you'd have to search the entire range: [len, len
+align-1], and that's somewhat silly.

This may still be good enough. 

OK, as long as this is clearly mentioned in a comment near there.

It just annoys me that I cannot come up with anything better :-)
