This patch organizes the entry handers consistently:

* All handlers are given the same alignment, which was previously

It's that word again.

Anyway, why is this alignment needed in the first place?
The alignemnt isn't functionally necessary. It's been there since day 1,
in commit:

  60ffc30d5652810d ("arm64: Exception handling")

I'm happy to have them or delete them; I just need to make this
consistent for when this gets templated.
I agree that consistency is good here, so the "obvious" thing would be
to use SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL because we don't have any specific alignment
constraints, I think.
Sounds good to me; done!

Mark.
