4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@xxxxxxxxx> commit c55b8550fa57ba4f5e507be406ff9fc2845713e8 upstream. Since the x86-64 kernel must be aligned to 2MB, refuse to boot the kernel if the alignment of the LOAD segment isn't a multiple of 2MB. Signed-off-by: H.J.
