    nmalloc - Further optimize posix_memalign()
    
    Align the requested size to the nearest alignment to improve our chances
    of coming up with a power-of-2.
    
    Greatly improve the fitting algorithm for oddly sized requests, e.g.
    
    (1) 32 byte alignment on a 1026 size.  In this case the zone for 1026
        already has a chunking (128) that exceeds the requested alignment,
        so we just do a _slaballoc().
    
    (2) A 256 byte alignment on a 513 byte size.  In this case the zone
        for 513 has a chunking of 64, which is not sufficient, so we
        find the nearest power-of-2 >= 513 and allocate that.  In our
        case we would find 1024.  Since _slaballoc() guarantees that
        power-of-2 allocations within the zone limit will be on the
        same-sized boundary, we then just allocate the nearest power of 2.
