For most applications, that would work, yes. In GNU clisp, the fault handler
needs some changes, because it assumed to be able to detect the region
within the page based on the address, and had some related assertions. But
in the end, the mprotect() call emitted by the fault handler depends only on
the page and not on the address within the page.
