Subject: i386: Distinguish absolute symbols (fix)
From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>
o There seems to be one extra ALIGN(4096) before symbol __smp_alt_end. The
only usage of __smp_alt_end is to mark the end of smp alternative
sections so that this memory can be freed. As a physical page is freed
one has to just make sure that there is no other data on the same page
where __smp_alt_end is pointing. There is already a ALIGN(4096) after
this section which should take care of the above issue. Hence it looks
like the ALIGN(4096) before __smp_alt_end is redundant and not required.
