No haha, not at all!! Firstly fixed addressed override a lot of this, secondly the 256 page gap (which is configurable btw) is only applicable for mappings below a stack (in stack grow down arch). This assumption is totally incorrect, sorry. I'd suggest making assertions about this is really not all that useful, as things vary by arch and kernel configuration.
