That's not what the manual page or a quick check of the code suggest
that mmap() does, they say that the kernel just takes it as a hint and
chooses a nearby page boundary, though I didn't test.  I'm not sure why
I have that alignment check at all TBH, and to the extent it's needed I
could just be 8 - this level of code doesn't really care.

I don't think that's needed any more - there was some stuff in an
earlier version of the code but no longer.
