Should also note that it’s currently possible to overflow usize::MAX here which 
causes a panic. This patch is also addressing
that by moving the overflow check to before the page alignment. If a request 
from user-space is made for a size that is
Within one PAGE_SIZE of usize::MAX, then it will panic when we try to use 
size.next_multiple_of().

So even if we want to keep the 4k page alignments regardless of the underlying 
CPU architecture, we should at least do the
Overflow check, and use page_align() instead of next_multiple_of().
