If page size is large (like 64K on ARM) and object size is small
then don't waste lots of memory by rounding up to page size.
Instead, round up so that 1 or more objects all fit in a page.

This preserves the requirement that an object must not a page
or virt2phys would break, and makes sure 62K is not wasted per mbuf.

Also, fix invalid use of printf (versus log) for error reporting.

v2 - fix trailer_size calculation, and replace printf with log
