Hey,

Is this really a problem? I made the per allocation alignment fixed and set it to the higher of the 2 places it's used in by radeon. This just means that slightly more memory might be allocated to each suballocation. This shouldn't cause any problem. It would reserve 256 bytes for a semaphore allocation, instead of 8.
