Could we call this something more like "min_align_mask" (sorry, I can't
think of a name that's actually good and descriptive right now).
Essentially I worry that having "page" in there is going to be too easy
to misinterpret as having anything to do what "page" means almost
everywhere else (even before you throw IOMMU pages into the mix).

Also note that of all the possible ways to pack two ints and a long,
this one is the worst ;)
