I do not think this is x86 specific. 
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst states:
"Any further SoBs (Signed-off-by:'s) following the author's SoB are from
people handling and transporting the patch, but were not involved in its
development. SoB chains should reflect the **real** route a patch took
as it was propagated to the maintainers and ultimately to Linus, with
the first SoB entry signalling primary authorship of a single author."

You can also consider aligned_alloc().
