You're missing:

        if (size != 0 && n > SIZE_MAX / size)
                return NULL;

Ditto.

If you make this one:

	return pcalloc_align(pool, n, size, PMALLOC_ALIGN_DEFAULT)

then you don't need the check in this function.

Also, do we really need 'align' as a parameter to the allocator functions
rather than to the pool?

I'd just reuse ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from slab.h as the alignment, and
then add the special alignment options when we have a real user for them.
