This patch is from Will Schmidt <willschm@us.ibm.com>, with some extra comments from me. On iSeries and on POWER5 machines, there is a data structure which is used for communication between the hypervisor and the kernel, called the `lppaca'. The kernel tells the hypervisor where it is, and the hypervisor requires that it doesn't cross a page boundary. With other changes in the last few months we have ended up with a situation where it could cross a page boundary. This patch increases the alignment requirement for the struct to make sure that it can't cross a page boundary. This is a bug fix and should go into 2.6.10.
