x86/paravirt: Ensure proper alignment
The entries in the .parainstructions sections are 8 byte aligned and the corresponding C struct paravirt_patch_site makes the array offset 16 bytes. Though the pushed entries are only using 12 bytes, __parainstructions_end is therefore 4 bytes short. That works by chance because it's only used in a loop: for (p = start; p < end; p++) But this falls flat when calculating the number of elements: n = end - start That's obviously off by one. Ensure that the gap is filled and the last entry is occupying 16 bytes.
