The generic ELF loader now calls this hook when determining the maximum segment alignment. The generic implementation is a no-op and preserves existing behavior. This provides a well-defined extension point for architectures that need to adjust segment alignment policies (for example, to improve mapping efficiency or enable platform-specific optimizations) without embedding such logic directly in the generic loader.
