[PATCH 9/9] Fix other posix_memalign() alignment issues

Fix the passing of an alignment that's less than sizeof(long) to
posix_memalign() in some other places by making sure the minimum is used
(AFS has a DIO alignment of 1).
Note that I haven't altered randholes.c as that has an explicit check for a
small alignment and gives an error in such a case. Possibly this should
just round it up to sizeof(long) instead.
Another alternative is that rather than using posix_memalign() is to
allocate a buffer big enough that the base pointer we're going to actually
use can be cranked forward to the appropriate alignment.
