Very interesting. That could actually be right for two reasons:

1. 0x1000 is a multiple of page size

2. If you're not checking the return result, then what is the sense in 
requesting the same allocation (va = 0) twice?

So yes, I'd definitely try adding some test code to check if va == 0, 
and if so, set align = size before calling ofmem_claim_virt().


ATB,

Mark.
