I'd rather go the other way and round up to a sizeof(void*) multiple in the 
posix_memalign-based implementation. It makes no sense to me for 
aligned_alloc to not work for alignment 1, 2, 4 when sizeof(void*) is 8. 
IOW, it should work for alignof(T) for any T. The posix_memalign-specific 
requirement should not bubble up.
