4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bec0de4cfad21bd284dbddee016ed1767a5d2823 upstream. KEXEC needs the new kernel's load address to be aligned on a page boundary (see sanity_check_segment_list()), but on MIPS the default vmlinuz load address is only explicitly aligned to 16 bytes. Since the largest PAGE_SIZE supported by MIPS kernels is 64KB, increase the alignment calculated by calc_vmlinuz_load_addr to 64KB.
