Linus, I'd REALLY prefer this patch be applied, even though
the problem turned out to be one of amd64 alignment, which
can be worked around.
Even if struct kernel_param doesn't suffer from .sdata problems,
this formulation is closer to Correct. I'd really prefer that
all such linker-script generated arrays used the [] form, and
not worry about the size of the data object involved.
