Encoding page size in the ELF header

Not sure if this the right mailing list for this discussion.

I think we should record the expected page size in the ELF header in
some way.  It affects the behavior of the static linker, the dynamic
linker, and even some applications.  (For example, an application might
want to make a part of .data read-only after initialization, as a
hardening measure.)

What would be a good way to do that?
