From a086536858ad0eb51c58074af2fc2c89ba9c1f5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stuart Menefy Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:26:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sh: Ensure ST40-300 BogoMIPS value is consistent A strange variation was seen in the BogoMIPS figure for the ST40-300. This was eventually tracked down to sensitivity to the alignment of the loop. So add an align directive to ensure this doesn't occur.
