correct. it doesn't make a huge difference in the end where the
metadata is, as long as it is somewhere. Probably putting it always
right before the start of the memory is better, in order to catch
accidental off-by-one writes (as they would corrupt the magic value)
please note that the metadata for a single page is just the magic value

kinda... we guarantee a minimum alignment, which is enough to fit the
magic value, which is the only metadata item for single pages (see
above)
