Just make sure that there is no assumption about the actual pagesize,
i.e. 4k. Since not all arch's use 4k pages it's probably a good idea
to keep the code, misalignements and stuff like that often cause
wicked errors which is hard to find.

I'm actually styggling with a subtle alignemnt bug in the dynamic
linker (readelflib1.c). Or so it seems...
