rcu: Add diagnostic for misaligned rcu_head structures
The push for energy efficiency will require that RCU tag rcu_head structures to indicate whether or not their invocation is time critical. This tagging is best carried out in the bottom bits of the ->next pointers in the rcu_head structures. This tagging requires that the rcu_head structures be properly aligned, so this commit adds the required diagnostics. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
