[PATCH 5/7] [RFC] force 32-byte aligned kmallocs

From: Eric Van Hensbergen <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-18 21:25:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

For BGP, it is convenient for 'kmalloc' to come back with 32-byte
aligned units for torus DMA
