[PATCH] Enforce physical alignment based upon size for the SPARC32 romvec obp_dumb_memalloc() function.

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

It appears that Solaris assumes that the resulting memory is physically aligned based upon the
value of size. Make sure we also respect this alignment, so that memory allocated using this
interface can be correctly used for the Solaris IOMMU page tables.
