+/*
+ * Special case host page size < target page size.
+ *
+ * The two special cases are increased guest alignment, and mapping
+ * past the end of a file.
+ *
+ * When mapping files into a memory area larger than the file,
+ * accesses to pages beyond the file size will cause a SIGBUS.
+ *
+ * For example, if mmaping a file of 100 bytes on a host with 4K
+ * pages emulating a target with 8K pages, the target expects to
+ * be able to access the first 8K. But the host will trap us on
+ * any access beyond 4K.
+ *
+ * When emulating a target with a larger page-size than the hosts,
+ * we may need to truncate file maps at EOF and add extra anonymous
+ * pages up to the targets page boundary.
+ *
+ * This workaround only works for files that do not change.
+ * If the file is later extended (e.g. ftruncate), the SIGBUS
+ * vanishes and the proper behaviour is that changes within the
+ * anon page should be reflected in the file.
+ *
+ * However, this case is rather common with executable images,
+ * so the workaround is important for even trivial tests, whereas
+ * the mmap of of a file being extended is less common.
