The actual alignment should IIUC be a mix of the GPU and kernel's
requirements (GPU can also use a different page size). So no matter what
we pick right now, it won't be great but you are right that PAGE_SIZE
will at least accomodate the kernel.

That's right, I skimmed its code too fast. ^_^; All the more reason to
use `Alignment`.
