This function checks not only alignment, so the name is bad. I suggest
check_offs_len() - it at least does not lie about what it does :-)

No, you should keep the DEBUG part in the caller. Because of __func__.

Also please, introduce the helper in the _first_ patch, and then use it
in your functions in the second patch. This is more logical.
