Also, does anyone know what causes this alignment to be required here? I found

Hi Cody,
I think the alignment requirement is caused by the way the
mem_section array is
organized. Basically it requires that PAGE_SIZE could be divided by
sizeof(struct mem_section).
So your change seems risky too because it should be aligned to power of
two instead
of 2 * sizeof(long).
Well, if that's the case then this patch is wrong, and manual padding
may be the only way to go. :(
