 @Function      MM_Init

 @Description   Initializes a new MM object.

                It initializes a new memory block consisting of base address
                and size of the available memory by calling to MemBlock_Init
                routine. It is also initializes a new free block for each
                by calling FreeBlock_Init routine, which is pointed to
                the almost all memory started from the required alignment
                from the base address and to the end of the memory.
                The handle to the new MM object is returned via "MM"
                argument (passed by reference).

                The Alignment argument tells from which
                free list allocate a block of memory. 2^alignment indicates
                the alignment that the base address of the allocated block
                should have. So, the only values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64

                do not include a just allocated block. Of course, each
                free list contains a free blocks with the same alignment.
                It is also creates a busy block that holds
                information about an allocated block.

 @Description   Allocates a block of memory according to the given size, the alignment and minimum base address.

                The Alignment argument tells from which
                free list allocate a block of memory. 2^alignment indicates
                the alignment that the base address of the allocated block

                are available for the alignment argument.
                The minimum baser address forces the location of the block
                to be from a given address onward.
                The routine passes through the specific free list of free
                blocks and seeks for the first base address equal or smaller
                than the required minimum address and end address larger than
                than the required base + its size - i.e. that may contain
