u16 generally has an alignment of 2 not 1. Using Layout::new::<u16>() would be better here though.

Again, this should be Layout::new::<u16>().

/// let layout = Layout::from_size_align(2, 1).unwrap();
/// let ptr = alloc(layout);
///
/// println!("Pointer {:p} has data: {:b}", ptr, *(ptr as *mut u16));

This is reading uninitialised memory which is Undefined Behaviour. I suggest writing a value to it first and then reading that value back.
