This ideal story doesn't happen to most of us. Right, so the real issue is that what we have here is a lower bound of the kmalloc alignment. In reality, the kmalloc return values are cache-line aligned when debugging is off. So if you can think of a way of getting a better bound at compile time, I'm all ears. Otherwise this discussion seems to be completely pointless.
