Hi, Matthew

It seems this patch will make all file mappings align with PMD_SIZE? And 
support realize all file THP, not only executable file THP?

Actually, what I want to say is we had merged a similar patch to only 
align DSO mapping in glibc:

"718fdd8 elf: Properly align PT_LOAD segments [BZ #28676]"
