Hi!
(It does seem unfortunate that the man page cannot help the programmer
actually write correct code here. He or she is forced to read the kernel
implementation, in order to figure out the true alignment rules. I was
hoping we could avoid that.)
It would be nice if we had this information exported somehere so that we
do not have to rely on per-architecture ifdefs.

What about adding MapAligment or something similar to the /proc/meminfo?
