Yes.
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.
