Would you prefer it with another line of comment after the
/* Did we cross page table boundary? */
Maybe,
/* Is address always page-aligned? No need to assume that. */
I just don't see the point in forcing alignment when the test is good
(and don't know for sure whether address is always aligned there or not).
I prefer to leave it as is, just letting the commit message document it.
