Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35b58d
("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in
linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to
__jump_table elements.  

It would obviously be nice if this could go in before the commit that
exposes the breakage, but I guess that's problematic because Steve
doesn't want to rebase the tracing tree.

Steve I think you've already sent your pull request for this cycle? So I
guess if this can go in your first batch of fixes?  

Ugh. Was looking at the wrong tree - Linus has already merged the commit
in question, so the above is all moot.

No problem. I've got some other "fixes" to push to Linus. That's what
the -rc releases are for. To fix up breakage from the merge window ;-)

Yep, no drama.

I'll pull this into my tree.

Thanks.

cheers
