Hmm, I don't think you can really do load_unaligned_zeropad() without first
checking for 'left != 0'. The fixup section for load_unaligned_zeropad()
assumes that rounding the pointer down to a word boundary will produce an
address from which an 'unsigned long' can be loaded. But if 'left = 0' and we
happen to be on a page boundary with the next page unmapped, then this will not
be true and the second load will still fault.
