Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/15] mm/vmalloc: add new 'alignment' field for vm_struct structure

I need a new alignment field for vm area in order to reallocate
previously allocated area with the same alignment.

Patch for a new vrealloc() call will follow and this new call
I want to keep as simple as possible, thus not to provide dozens
of variants, like vrealloc_user(), which cares about alignment.

Current changes are just preparations.

Worth to mention, that on archs were unsigned long is 64 bit
this new field does not bloat vm_struct, because originally
there was a padding between nr_pages and phys_addr.
