Sorry, that isn't quite clear to me yet. You're saying I would need to
handle that in this patch?

Looking through the sources I actually found only one single usage of
memalign() which explicitly takes care of this the way you propose:

drivers/usb/host/xhci-mem.c:	ptr = memalign(cacheline_size, ALIGN(size,
cacheline_size));

I'm just wondering about the 107 other places in U-Boot where memalign()
is already used the way I do in this patch.

Wouldn't there need to be an infrastructure solution done to e.g.
memalign() itself?

Cheers
