Hi!

Part of the work that Thomas mentions in [1], regarding Direct I/O,
has certain requirements that pointers must be page-aligned.

I've attached a patch which implements palloc_aligned() and
MemoryContextAllocAligned() ...
I've done a quick look and the patch is looks good to me.
Let's add tests for these functions, should we? If you think this is an overkill, feel free to trim tests for your taste.

Best regards,
