Here's an idea: instead of refusing to load these old ZMAGIC binaries
because of page-alignment constraints, how about reading them all into
memory as if they were OMAGIC? The kernel could still nag the user
to convert them, but the user would still be able to get their work
done rather than have to fix it right then and there.

Of course demand-loading is the best but I think full read-into-memory
is better than failing.
