However, it's a question of pride too. I don't want to break "normal" user land applications (as opposed to things like "ifconfig" that are really very very special), unless I really have to. As such, I want to support even the old 1kB-aligned ZMAGIC binaries for as long as it's not a liability, and quite frankly the issue of whether you make the page cache "offset" be a sector or a page offset is purely a thing of taste, not a liability.
