Subject: [patch] xtensa: enforce slab alignment to maximum register width

From: Oskar Schirmer <os@...ix.com>

XCHAL_DATA_WIDTH is the maximum register width, slab caches should be
aligned to this.

Theoretical fix as all variants have had an XCHAL_DATA_WIDTH of 4
(wordsize) for now.  But the S6000 variant will raise this to 16.
