Same than with the other flag: since the meaning of this flag is not obvious
when we read the name, it has to be clearly described.
- say that it's virtual address
- say that it implies MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
- say that it can be advertised by a driver and the application should
  not pass it

And, since it shall not be passed by an application, I suggest to add
_CAPA too (i.e. MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS).
