OK, I'll look into it.

In the original proc.S file, this was to align the cpu_reset
routine.  It has been there since the initial commit of the
proc.S.  I don't think this alignment is needed, but maybe
there is some reason it is there that I am not aware of?

Sure, I'll look at your proposal from your reply to Pratyush.

Sure, I can change that.  Grepping the arm64 sources shows one other
use of this style, in a kvm header...

I'll switch these over.
