Subject: [PATCH 2/8] x86: Naturally align the debug IST stack

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The followon patch for RD*BASE requires the IST stacks to be naturally
aligned because it uses and to access the bottom of the stack.
This was true for everyone except for the debug ist stack.
Make the debug ist stack naturally aligned too.
