Subject: [PATCH v5 4/9] resources: handle overflow when aligning start of
	available area


If tmp.start is near ~0, ALIGN(tmp.start) may overflow, which would
make us think there's more available space than there really is.  We
would likely return something that conflicts with a previous resource,
which would cause a failure when allocate_resource() requests the newly-
allocated region.
