All the code in mem.c fills me with shame.

Besides, the memalign hack used to be required, and people still
compile with it forcibly enabled due to cargo-cult. This is
inefficient, so good enough reason to remove.

Of course we shouldn't accidentally drop support for platforms. Can you
tell us which platforms these are?
