Subject: [PATCHv3 0/3] clean up KPTI / SDEI trampoline data alignment

	Hi,

The KPTI and SDE trampolines each load a pointer from the same fixmap data
page. This reduces the data alignment to the useful value, and tries to
clarify the assembler code.

Changes since v2:
- Retain alignment even when SDEI is disabled to keep ld happy.
