A number of structures and buffers passed to PKS hcalls have
alignment
requirements, which could on occasion cause problems:

- Authorisation structures must be 16-byte aligned and must not cross
a
  page boundary

- Label structures must not cross page coundaries

- Password output buffers must not cross page boundaries

Round up the allocations of these structures/buffers to the next
power of
2 to make sure this happens.
