It's for a memory allocation function within our OS abstraction layer, 
and it allows to specify certain characteristics. We need to make sure 
that those are fulfilled, or not. There are separate functions for DMA 
allocation. Thus, it's more a legacy issue to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the answer, anyway. Might be worthwhile to add this to the 
documentation.
