From a83308e60f63749dc1d08acb0d8fa9e2ec13c9a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 15:23:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] PTR_ALIGN The AdvanSys driver wants to align some pointers, and the ALIGN macro doesn't work for pointers. Rather than try to make it work, add a new PTR_ALIGN macro which is typesafe.
