Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks. That
assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have failed on
Linux/cris also). The jump label implementation makes a similar alignment
assumption.
The expectation that atomic_t and atomic64_t variables will be naturally
aligned seems reasonable, as indeed they are on 64-bit architectures. But
atomic64_t isn't naturally aligned on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2,
openrisc and sh. Neither atomic_t nor atomic64_t are naturally aligned on
m68k.
This patch brings a little uniformity by specifying natural alignment for
atomic types. One benefit is that atomic64_t variables do not get split
across a page boundary. The cost is that some structs grow which leads to
cache misses and wasted memory.
