I'd hate to distribute the aligning to PAGE_SIZE in the two functions. An
alternative would be to add a new function argument for the aligned size,
but I like that even less. I think it might be better as-is.

I don't have a strong opinion either way though, and you certainly have a
point as well. What do you think?
