Ummm... 0 *would be* a valid order-based[*] alignment (pow(2,0) is 1).  It
might actually make more sense to do that than to pass in the number of bytes,
then 0 is the default, but either way works.

[*] Other places that take an order-based parameter include things like
    alloc_pages().  The number of pages being requested is pow(2,order).

The 'U' should be unnecessary.

data_align = umax(data_align, L1_CACHE_BYTES);

would be better, I think.

Anyway, with the umax change above:
