No.  The file can specify higher alignment requirements, there is no
problem with that as long as the p_align is a multiple of the pagesize.

Whether we should fail if the actual alignment is not a multiple of the
pagesize can be discussed.  I probably would agree that it should be
fatal since the extra work necessary and the subtle changes in the
semantics make supporting this undesirable.
