The code mentions "Trace memory needs to be aligned to the size", and
e.g., round_up() is documented to work on power of 2 only. Also, the
whole search is not optimized e.g., for being aligned to memory block
size only while allocating multiple memory blocks.
Let's just limit to powers of 2 that are at least the size of memory
blocks - the granularity we are using for alloc/offline/unplug.
