Rare platforms now, but fwiw, this is incorrect for hppa and ia64.
For hppa, stack grows up, so the guard page needs to be at the top.
For ia64, there are two stacks, the "normal" program stack (grows down) and the
register window stack (grows up). The guard page goes in between.
See e.g. glibc/nptl/allocatestack.c
#ifdef NEED_SEPARATE_REGISTER_STACK
char *guard = mem + (((size - guardsize) / 2) & ~pagesize_m1);
#elif _STACK_GROWS_DOWN
char *guard = mem;
#elif _STACK_GROWS_UP
char *guard = (char *) (((uintptr_t) pd - guardsize) & ~pagesize_m1);
#endif
if (mprotect (guard, guardsize, PROT_NONE) != 0)
