[PATCH] [powerpc-next] Fix powerpc64 alignment of .toc section in kernel modules

powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc pointer relative address then code like the following is possible. addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha ld r3,var@toc@l(r9) ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9) This works fine so long
