struct kmem_cache is allocated without any alignment so the alignment spec does not work.

A separate patch may convince us to merge aligning kmem_cache_node within kmem_cache. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
