Workaround for fapiMalloc fragmentation issue

Added a macro that returns the next highest power of 2 number of pages
for a given buffer.  Implemented fapiPlatMalloc() so that it calls the macro
for buffers larger than 1 page size. This can prevent excessive
fragmentation when allocating very large buffers.
