From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> The entries[] array needs to be cacheline aligned to avoid false sharing between different queues, each queue has a set of entries in it that it writes to. While it is aligned in practice today given that each array entry before it is aligned, it's still clearer to explicitly require it to be aligned, so add the annotation for that.
