Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment [try #2]

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.
