 configuration, but it is a good practice to use `kmalloc` for objects
 smaller than page size.
 
+The address of a chunk allocated with `kmalloc` is aligned to at least

 For large allocations you can use :c:func:`vmalloc` and

 allocator. The memory allocated by `vmalloc` and related functions is
