ARM: 6499/1: Thumb-2: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL in bootp/init.S
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
immediately after an instruction.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
