This version of the patch suggests posix_memalign,
and doesn't mention aligned_alloc at all. The documentation
should suggest aligned_alloc first, and posix_memalign second.
aligned_alloc is the better interface and is part of C11 so it'll
be available on more platforms eventually; posix_memalign
is also worth mentioning as it's available on more platforms
now.
