In generating the reference LRC, we want a page-aligned address for simplicity in computing the offsets within. This then shares the computation for the HW LRC which is mapped and so page aligned, making the comparison straightforward. It seems that kmalloc(4k) is not always returning from a 4k-aligned slab cache (which would give us a page aligned address) so force alignment by explicitly allocating a page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
