valloc ensures the allocated block is page-aligned. It's needed e.g. for some buffers where HW has such limitation that buffer must start on aligned address. Flashrom/libpci use valloc. Valloc was OK in DJDEV 2.04 and then was broken in 2.05, later fixed in CVS-only.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
