Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment
From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>
Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment to be 8 bytes. This fixes a crash
when SLOB is selected as the memory allocator. The FRV arch needs this so
that it can use the load- and store-double instructions without faulting. By
default SLOB sets the minimum to be 4 bytes.
