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,
