[OpenBIOS] [PATCH 1/6] Fix alignment of memory allocated by OFMEM's ofmem_malloc().

A casual glance at the source code suggests that pointers returned by ofmem_malloc() are aligned, but in fact they are not
because sizeof(alloc_desc_t) is added to the final pointer return value. Create some additional padding after the previous value
of ofmem->next_malloc so we can store the alloc_desc_t underneath the final return pointer in memory, thus ensuring that the
final pointer is aligned correctly.
