Yes, that probably would be more helpful.

Honestly I'd be a lot happier to just not allow misalignment but that
raises the issue with binaries randomly not working when moved to a
kernel with a different page size.  I'll have a think but possibly the
safest thing would be requiring a multiple of 4K then rounding up to our
actual page size.
