## Message

```
Implement a fallback mechanism for posix_memalign

Do the alignment dance by ourselves whenever posix_memalign is not
available.
Don't try to use malloc as it has too many edge cases, figuring out
whether a block of memory is manually aligned by the mechanism above or
is directly coming from malloc becomes too hard to be valuable.
