gen_pool supports custom allocation algorithms. I thought this was discussed
previously and the conclusion was that if you wanted alignment you should
use custom allocation algorithms. I'm failing at finding any thread discussing
it though.
Perhaps another option would be to add another runtime argument to gen_pool
where you could pass the alignment to your custom allocation function. This
way alignment isn't inherently coded into any of the algorithms.

Passing 1 here would change the behavior of the existing algorithms which
were passing 0 for the align mask
