I refuse to believe that there exists any magic size/roundup/offset
combination that *always* returns a full page of aligned memory.
The only semi-decent solution I can think of is to get N*pagesize+C
bytes from malloc, which can then be delivered as N' aligned data pages,
plus a control block of size C to determine when the entire block may
be freed. N' will normally be N-1, but could accidentally be N.
Moreover, I think the ggc-page mmap optimizations are useful enough
that I do not want to defer everything to an xvalloc or the like.
