That's not the only place - here's another: + ALT_SMP(test_for_ipi r0, r6, r5, lr) + ALT_UP_B(9997f) test_for_ipi may be thumb code, which could be 16-bit aligned. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
