hmm, i wish we had a memalign_alloca().  and all this copy & pasting of 
get_dcache_line_size() makes me unhappy as we're encoding too-low-of-a-level 
logic into funcs.

what about adding a new func like:
#define dma_buffer_alloca(size)

and it would take care of allocating a big enough aligned buffer on the stack.
