Doing unaligned near file end returns bogus results:
barebox@Sandbox:/ md -s /dev/stickypage 4095
00000fff: 959ff8ff .
That 0x959ff8 is heap memory next to the buffer md had allocated.
Fix this by adding some zeroed padding after the buffer, so it instead
reads:
00000fff: 000000ff .
This is arguably better user experience.
This only applies to non-mappable fd's. For e.g. /dev/mem, unaligned
accesses will still be passed as-is.
