[PATCH v2] pvcalls-front: 64-bit align flags

From: Stefano Stabellini
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 21:05:44 EST


We are using test_and_* operations on the status and flag fields of
struct sock_mapping. However, these functions require the operand to be
64-bit aligned on arm64. Currently, only status is 64-bit aligned.

Make status and flags explicitly 64-bit aligned.
