Subject: [PATCH -v2] bootmem: fix aligning of node-relative indexes and offsets

Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets.  Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation
on an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of
an unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not
garuanteed to be aligned itself.

This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that
the absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the
two satisfies the requested alignment.

Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by
these helpers.

Andrew could you pull this in?  Replaces
alloc_bootmem_core-fix-misaligned-allocation-of-1g-page.patch and is
also needed in upstream.
