Options passed with the request specify the kind of memory to be allocated - pageablity and sharing are specified with option bits.

- @param inTask The task the buffer will be allocated in.
- @param options Options for the allocation:<br>
- kIOMemoryPhysicallyContiguous - pass to request memory be physically contiguous. This option is heavily discouraged. The request may fail if memory is fragmented, may cause large amounts of paging activity, and may take a very long time to execute.<br>
- kIOMemoryPageable - pass to request memory be non-wired - the default for kernel allocated memory is wired.<br>
- kIOMemoryPurgeable - pass to request memory that may later have its purgeable state set with IOMemoryDescriptor::setPurgeable. Only supported for kIOMemoryPageable allocations.<br>
- kIOMemoryKernelUserShared - pass to request memory that will be mapped into both the kernel and client applications.
- @param capacity The number of bytes to allocate.
- @param alignment The minimum required alignment of the buffer in bytes - 1 is the default for no required alignment. For example, pass 256 to get memory allocated at an address with bits 0-7 zero.
- @result Returns an instance of class IOBufferMemoryDescriptor to be released by the caller, which will free the memory desriptor and associated buffer. */
