I'm having trouble with this, and a more complete description would
have helped!
As far as I can tell, the current code will decide the following:
size=0x10000: alignment=0x10000
size=0x0f000: alignment=0x8000
And your patch will change it so that
size=0x10000: alignment=0x8000
size=0x0f000: alignment=0x8000
Correct?
If so, I'm struggling to see the sense in this. Shouldn't we be
changing things so that
size=0x10000: alignment=0x10000
size=0x0f000: alignment=0x10000
?
