+API interface
+=============
+
+Depending on different aligning requirement, the page_frag API caller may call
+page_frag_*_align*() to ensure the returned virtual address or offset of the
+page is aligned according to the 'align/alignment' parameter. Note the size of
+the allocated fragment is not aligned, the caller needs to provide an aligned
+fragsz if there is an alignment requirement for the size of the fragment.
