[PATCH] x86/i386: make sure stack-protector segment base is cache aligned

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says:

	In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit
	assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero
	segment base will cause load and store operations to experience
	a delay.
		- If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line
		  boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is
		  reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles.
	[...]
	Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality)
	For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0
	whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is
	not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost.

We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector segment, but
we can make it cache-aligned.
