Ok, so you claim that ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is not set on some
architectures, and thus SLOB does the wrong thing.

Doesn't that rather obviously mean that the affected architectures
should define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN? Because, well, they have an
"architecture-specific minimum kmalloc alignment"?

nope, if nothing is defined SLOB asumes that alignment of long is the way
go. Unfortunately alignment of u64 maybe larger than of u32.

This change will regress SLOB everywhere where '4' was the right answer.

I doubt that 4 was the correct answer. On x86_32 you still get 4.
Everything else might be miss-aligned for u64 types.
