Subject: types.h: define __aligned_u64 and expose to userspace
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36~17
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79b5dc0c64d88cda3da23b2e22a5cec0964372ac;p=pandora-kernel.git

types.h: define __aligned_u64 and expose to userspace

We currently have a kernel internal type called aligned_u64 which aligns
__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align
them on 4 byte boundaries.  This patch creates a new type __aligned_u64
which does the same thing but which is exposed to userspace rather than
being kernel internal.

[akpm: merge early as both the net and audit trees want this]

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: enhance the comment describing the reasons for using aligned_u64.  Via Andreas and Andi.]
