Subject: [patch 068/149] Blackfin: set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@....ntt.co.jp>

commit 76b99699a2bbf9efdb578f9a38a202af2ecb354b upstream.

Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe:
the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.
