I did not follow exaclty why.
OK, that's no problem, then it can remain exported but we just
have to document and audit that callers must pass in an aligned
address. We can also BUG_ON(address & ~PAGE_MASK); to handle
the security aspect.
Err, duh no we can't because we don't know the size, which is the
whole point :P
Anyway.... just ensure callers have to fix alignment.
