max_pages < alignment makes little sense.

max_pages = n * alignment could make sense, i.e. allow writes that are
whole multiples of the alignment.

I'm not against adding a separate alignment, but it could be just
uint8_t to take up less space in init_out.   We could have done that
with max_stack_depth too.   Oh well...

Thanks,
