Function platform_alloc_contiguous

loader/linux/src/platform.c:123–140

* <!-- description --> * @brief This function allocates read/write virtual memory from the * kernel. This memory is physically contiguous. The resulting * pointer is at least 4k aligned, so use this function sparingly * as it will always allocate at least one page. Use * platform_free_contiguous() to release this memory. * * @note This function must zero the allocated me

 *     Returns a nullptr on failure.
