pool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundaries
The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a
boundary's worth of data from an entire page. Some users didn't know
this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the
horrible waste of memory that this was. It's fairly easy to correct
this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page.
This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary)
on machines with larger page sizes.
