[PATCH] sim: HW_NALLOC: new alloc helper

[Mike Frysinger]

We have malloc (uninitialized buffer), zalloc (zeroed buffer), and
nzalloc (zeroed array).  But we don't have a way to allocate an
uninitialized array.  Add a HW_NALLOC to fill this gap.

This is OK too.  I assume you are planning on using this soon?
