Oops. resend with whole Cc list.

Thanks for testing.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is for object alignment,
but, current problem is caused by alignment of cpu cache array.
I think that my fix is more proper in this situation.
I will send fix tomorrow,
because I'd like to test more and it's 2:42 am. :)

Thanks.
