Ok, will do. I was a little uneasy leaving it implicit, but even if
something w/out MMU on arm64 shows up, it'll easily be corrected.

Off-by-one errors provide a good example of why hardening features are
useful? =/ Will change.

Yes, seems reasonable.  Time will tell if this remains true for all
architectures, or even here, but it would be good to document it where
someone considering a change could easily find it.

Thank You,
