Marissa Wall 2a1a695599 allocator: require optimal allocations
Add a clarification the documentation that all buffer allocations
should be optimized for the usage bits provided in the descriptor.
This was always assumed to be a requirement of buffer allocations
but it was not explicitly documented.
