It's good practice to have at least paragraph (segment boundary) 
alignment between different types of data.  In the case of the .bss, it 
also allows cleaning with rep;movsl.

It's technically not all that necessary (except for 4-byte alignment for 
the .bss), but it makes things easier to debug on the assembly level.

Not really, because it's not at all related to the kernel page size; the 
reference to pages there is informal.  If we go to a larger virtual page 
size we do NOT want this to change.
