ARM: 7320/1: Fix proc_info table alignment
With an admittedly exotic choice of configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, THUMB2, some other size-minimizing ones) and compiler, the proc_info table can end up being misaligned, and the kernel being unbootable (Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant). Forcing the alignement to 4 bytes in the linker script fixes the issue. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
