@param inTask The task the buffer will be allocated in.
- @param options Options for the allocation:
- 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.
- kIOMemoryPageable - pass to request memory be non-wired - the default for kernel allocated memory is wired.

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.
