i should have said that i expect MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE semantics
(since the x86 code seemed to use that) and then the mapped
address must match exactly thus page aligned.

it's kind of important to know the exact logic so the cap token
location can be computed in userspace for arbitrary size.
(this is why i wanted to see the map_shadow_stack man page first
but i was told that comes separately on linux..)
