Subject: [AVR32] Define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to L1_CACHE_BYTES
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=093d0faf57e59feee224217273f944e10e4e3562;p=linux-beck.git

[AVR32] Define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to L1_CACHE_BYTES

This allows SLUB debugging to be used without fear of messing up DMA
transfers. SPI is one example that easily breaks without this patch.
