We can workaround it using a function like:
int uma_get_align(void)
(which would be the counter part of uma_set_align).
Its implementations is trivial.

I have a diff for that:
http://users.gufi.org/~rookie/works/patches/uma2.diff

I had no time to sync my branches with last HEAD changes, so I can't
fix uma_zcreate() call... just adding the uma_get_align() function.

Thanks,
Attilio
