Dave Martin 6323875db2 ARM: 6501/1: Thumb-2: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL in mm/proc-v7.S 
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas.  As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C.  If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.

In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:

    * .quad and .double:
         .align 3

    * .long, .word, .single, .float:
         .align (or .align 2)

    * .short:
        No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
        instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
        immediately after an instruction.

In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by
forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the
assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.
