I looked around and saw similar implementations, but nothing generic,
each has different assumptions, for example PAGE_SIZE can be different
or base address is assumed to be PAGE aligned, or len has a specific
alignment, so each use is a bit different.

I managed to reduce this to a one liner in V2.

Thanks,
Saeed.
