/****************************************************************************
* Name: gran_initialize
*
* Description:
* Set up one granule allocator instance. Allocations will be aligned to
* the alignment size (log2align; allocations will be in units of the
* granule size (log2gran). Larger granules will give better performance
* and less overhead but more losses of memory due to quantization waste.
* Additional memory waste can occur from alignment; log2align should be
* set to 0 unless you are using the granule allocator to manage DMA
* or page-aligned memory and your hardware has specific memory alignment
* requirements.
*
* General Usage Summary. This is an example using the GCC section
* attribute to position a DMA heap in memory (logic in the linker script
* would assign the section .dmaheap to the DMA memory.
*
* FAR uint32_t g_dmaheap[DMAHEAP_SIZE] locate_data(.dmaheap);
*
* The heap is created by calling gran_initialize. Here the granule size
* is set to 64 bytes and the alignment to 16 bytes:
*
* GRAN_HANDLE handle = gran_initialize(g_dmaheap, DMAHEAP_SIZE, 6, 4);
*
* Then the GRAN_HANDLE can be used to allocate memory:
*
* FAR uint8_t *dma_memory = (FAR uint8_t *)gran_alloc(handle, 47);
*
* The actual memory allocates will be 64 byte (wasting 17 bytes) and
* will be aligned at least to (1 << log2align).
*
* NOTE: The current implementation also restricts the maximum allocation
* size to 32 granules. That restriction could be eliminated with some
* additional coding effort.
*
* Input Parameters:
* heapstart - Start of the granule allocation heap
* heapsize - Size of heap in bytes
* log2gran - Log base 2 of the size of one granule. 0->1 byte,
* 1->2 bytes, 2->4 bytes, 3->8 bytes, etc.
* log2align - Log base 2 of required alignment. 0->1 byte,
* 1->2 bytes, 2->4 bytes, 3->8 bytes, etc. Note that
* log2gran must be greater than or equal to log2align
* so that all contiguous granules in memory will meet
* the minimum alignment requirement. A value of zero
* would mean that no alignment is required.
*
* Returned Value:
* On success, a non-NULL handle is returned that may be used with other
* granule allocator interfaces.

*
* Reserved memory can never be allocated (it can be freed however which
