More than 64k memory requested, caller can handle       a non-zero offset.              Therefore the only thing required is whether you can handle       a non-zero offset.              We just need another allocate-memory call that takes a       32-bit size and a flag to say whether it needs a 0 offset       (ie be on a segment boundary).              BFN.
