The patch titled
Subject: lib/sort: Move the alignment check into a function
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-sort-add-64-bit-swap-function-v2-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into lib-sort-add-64-bit-swap-function.patch

Subject: lib/sort: Move the alignment check into a function
Rasmus Villemoes suggestes to move the aliment check into a separate
function in order to improve the readability.
Furthermore, let's avoid the switch statement since gcc might mess it
up. My gcc 4.9.2 produces the same code for the x86_64
configuration. That is
switch (size) {
case 4:
if (alignment_ok(base, 4))
swap_func = u32_swap;
break;
case 8:
if (alignment_ok(base, 8))
swap_func = u64_swap;
break;
}
if (!swap_func)
swap_func = generic_swap;
}
resulted into the same object code.
