Cool, but make it optional.  There are systems that would trade
one or two memory pages for a page of what you refer to as disk
space.  Think devices with flash file-systems; disk isn't cheap
there.  For example (IIUC) I don't think this line is ok since
it seems to enforce the "smarter alignment" for all targets with
a 0x1000 page-size:
