The copy happens in firmware? Please help briefly describe the firmware
operations in commit message.

Does the Macro ALIGN() help?

This is historical, but why do the realloc & copy? Any better way?

Generally I object to massive copy in fpga_manager_ops::write if not
necessary. If there is an alignment requirement from HW, it should be
noticed to the caller in some way, before the buffer is created.
