For a reason since it doesn't matter at all. AllocPooled() can do whatever
it wants to allocate the memory. *Currently* it might use AllocMem() to
allocate a pool (AllocPooled() probably manages the pools with Allocate()).
In either case long-word alignment is guaranteed (For AllocMem() the
alignment is MEM_BLOCKSIZE)

*Compatibility*
Use system functions to allocate system structure if there is a function
to do so.
