[PATCH] Fix over-alignment problem on x86-64

Thanks to Jan Hubicka who suggested this fix.

The problem seems to be that gcc generates a 32byte alignment for static
objects > 32bytes.  This causes gas to set a high alignment on the
section, which causes the uneven (not multiple of sizeof(struct
kernel_param)) section size.  The pointer division with a base not being
a multiple of sizeof(*ptr) then causes the invalid result.

This just forces a small alignment, which makes the section end come out
with the correct alignment.

The only mystery left is why ld chose a 16 byte padding instead of
32byte.
