We have a few PGDs that come out of the kernel binary instead of being allocated dynamically. Before this patch, they are all 8k-aligned, but we also need them to be 8k in *size*e The original KAISER patch did not do this. It probably just lucked out that it did not trample over data after the last PGD.
