Instead of page aligning the `.multiboot_header` section, we merge it into the `.rodata` section. That way, we don't waste a whole page for the few bytes of the Multiboot header. We could merge it into any section, but `.rodata` fits best because it has the same flags (neither writable nor executable). The Multiboot header still needs to be at the beginning of the file, so `.rodata` must be our first section now.
