Quite frankly, I'd rather tighten them up. All the callers actually seem
to do just a single-byte one.
So I'd suggest really tightening it up to require total natural alignment
(rather than the weaker version that required that it fit in an aligned
unsigned long or whatever). And I'd suggest using FIXMAP's instead of
vmap. Maybe something like the appended (TOTALLY UNTESTED!)
