It's not "general purpose".  It's for gen_pool_first_fit_align (and could be 
reused by any future algorithms that need alignment but nothing else).

This should pass in pool->data, not NULL.

 retry:
              start_bit = pool->algo(chunk->bits, end_bit, start_bit, nbits,

This should pass in data, not pool->data.  Currently you don't use the data 
argument at all.

Unnecessary check.  If this happens it will happen quickly on the developer's 
machine, so let it oops and be obvious.

Unnecessary cast.
