When compiled with GCC 8.1, vmlinux is significantly bigger than
with GCC 4.8.

When looking at the generated code with objdump, we notice that
all functions and loops when a 16 bytes alignment. This significantly
increases the size of the kernel. It is pointless and even
counterproductive as on the 8xx 'nop' also consumes one clock cycle.

Size of vmlinux with GCC 4.8:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
