is there a way to ensure that a block of memory is aligned to a 256k boundary?
i just need to ensure that the bottom 18 bits of the address are 0 you see.
i could choose an array 256k bigger than i need and that would ensure that i could
align it in this way, but then i've wasted up to 256k which seems a bit futile.
any suggestions?
