Jason, just one more thing...

Because the original struct _ddebug definition
above this uses __attribute__((aligned(8))),

struct _ddebug {
	[...]
} __attribute__((aligned(8)));

( and I suppose that should be __aligned(8) instead )

the __aligned(8) use in DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA
is not necessary.

cheers, Joe
