Correct, and if you look at the code again and analyze what it's doing,
you'll see that it's using the wrong thing.  The code pre-exists the
SECTION_* macros, and was never fixed up when they were introduced.

SECTION_SIZE is the right thing here - it's setting up sections.

Just look at identity_mapping_add() to see how the code _should_ be.
