[PATCH] kernel.h: add IS_PTR_ALIGNED() macro

[Masahiro Yamada]

We often check if a pointer has a specific alignment.  Because the
'&' (bitwise AND) operator cannot take a pointer for the operand,
so we need a cast like, IS_ALIGNED((unsigned long)p, a).

IS_PTR_ALIGNED will be useful as a shorthand.
