Sorry for that. I still think it should be aligned, especially with all the
effort the Intel puts around to avoid bus-locking on unaligned atomic
operations.

So the right solution seems to me as putting this data structure off stack.
It would prevent flush_tlb_mm_range() from being reentrant, so we can keep a
few entries for this matter and atomically increase the entry number every
time we enter flush_tlb_mm_range().

But my question is - should flush_tlb_mm_range() be reentrant, or can we
assume no TLB shootdowns are initiated in interrupt handlers and #MC
handlers?
