From: Helge Deller <del...@gmx.de>

On 64-bit architectures without CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
(e.g. ppc64, ppc64le, parisc, s390x,...) the __KSYM_REF() macro stores
64-bit pointers into the __ksymtab* sections.
Make sure that those sections will be correctly aligned at module link time,
otherwise unaligned memory accesses may happen at runtime.

The __kcrctab* sections store 32-bit entities, so use ALIGN(4) for those.
