I'm not that happy with the handling here.

See a minimum page size larger than the requested size is perfectly 
valid, it just means that the remaining pages needs to be trimmed.

In other words when the request is to allocate 1 page with an alignment 
of 256 we just need to give the remaining 255 pages back to the allocator.

Regards,
Christian.
