The only thing I'm not sure about, is if it's safe to use an alignment of 64 on
powerpc.  The issue is mostly that the powerpc cpus vary wildly in cacheline
sizes, and whinyness about alignment.  I suspect it's not a big deal, as the
kernel isn't generally as picky as the bootloader is about alignment issues. 
IIRC I might have used 64 as the alignment on the bootloader too though, so it
might be just fine and my memory failing.
