That's basically the solution that Jason came up with, and what I
expected. What caught my eye was that David Miller had .align 4 for this
on sparc which is the one arch that is truly picky about such things. As
I understood more about this, I see that would work for both archs.

That doesn't mean I'm against the .align BLA solution.
