New Revision: 229848
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/229848

Log:
  Add aligned_alloc(3).
  
  The C11 folks reinvented the wheel by introducing an aligned version of
  malloc(3) called aligned_alloc(3), instead of posix_memalign(3). Instead
  of returning the allocation by reference, it returns the address, just
  like malloc(3).
