I can imagine. It also clearly indicates that your linker is bad, because
the "vmlinux.lds" file does explicitly tell the linker to make sure that
init_begin and init_end be page-aligned.

Note that I'll probably use the "ALIGN(4096)" thing for other things too
in the near future (getting rid of some of the data stuff in "head.S", so
a linker that doesn't honour the alignment restrictions will break badly
because that non-alignment simply cannot be fixed up at run-time.
