Re: [PATCH] x86: reduce back the alignment of the per-CPU data section

[Alexander van Heukelum]

Hi Jan,

This is indeed a leftover. Thanks.

This was once done to fix i386-UP, because the irq stacks were part of the percpu area. The stacks are now allocated dynamically.

Acked-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Greetings,
    Alexander
