Specify type alignment for kernel parameters instead of sizeof(long). The alignment attribute is used to prevent gcc from increasing the alignment of objects with static extent as an optimisation, something which would mess up the __setup array stride. Using __alignof__(struct obs_kernel_param) rather than sizeof(long) is preferred since it better indicates why it is there and doesn't break should the type size or alignment change. Note that on m68k the alignment of struct obs_kernel_param is actually two and that adding a 1- or 2-byte field to the 12-byte struct would cause a breakage with the current 4-byte alignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
