powerpc: Fix alignment of secondary cpu spin vars
Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') resulted in losing proper alignment of the spinlock variables used when booting secondary CPUs, causing some quite odd issues with failing to boot on PA Semi-based systems. This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig, so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set. Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :) [ It appears that there is a different issue with PA Semi systems however this fix is definitely correct so applying anyway -- BenH ] Fixes: 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') Reported-by: Christian Zigotzky <chzigotzky@xenosoft.de> Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67811 Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
