Dan's concern was that PAGE_SIZE is not guaranteed to be 4096.
I agree that PAGE_SIZE is 4K on x86 today. But to address that concern, I saw
two options:
1. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(PAGE_SIZE != SZ_4K), or
2. Handle it as in the code above.
I didn't find existing code using option 1 in x86, so I chose option 2.

@sig is 4KB aligned.

Sure. Will do.
