This should be ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, not ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.

Note that without an __aligned tag on the next member as well, those
next members might get cache corrupted.

.. and without also aligning the next member you'll might still
corrupt everything adter the DMAed member.

That's the reason why I generall advocate against playing these
__aligned games as they can easily go wrong if someone reorders
the structure.
