2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Nicolas Pitre <[email protected]> commit 3bd2cbb95543acf44fe123eb9f038de54e655eb4 upstream. With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so instructions like STRD and LDRD can be used. Without this, mysterious boot failures were seen semi randomly with the LZMA decompressor. While at it, let's align .bss as well.
