That's the way I always did it on 8xx. For 8260, I added a second alignment
parameter to dpram_alloc(). If the address it would return isn't properly
aligned, it will waste sufficient memory behind your back to make this
happen :-) At least it won't waste any if you align and the sizes are
modulo the alignment.

Sitting in my basket of things to do. I wanted to add the alignment
to the 8xx as well, and this complicates the free function because it
doesn't know alignment was done with the region you may have allocated.
