I think this will cause problems on PA-RISC. The reason is we have an additional offset
for mappings.  See get_offset() in sys_parisc.c.

SHMLBA is 4 MB on PA-RISC. If we limit ourselves to aligned mappings, we run out of memory very quickly. Even with our current implementation, we fail the perl locales test
with locales-all installed.
