[PATCH] adjust the alignment in struct sal_processor_static_info

Hi all,

Struct ia64_fpreg(asm-ia64/fpu.h) is forced to align 16-byte.
An array of this struct is in struct sal_processor_static_info
(asm-ia64/sal.h), however, we can't touch the array correctly
because of the forced alignment.

Usually, SAL log record contains:
  Record Header
    - sizeof(sal_log_record_header_t) = 40
  Section Header
    - sizeof(sal_log_sec_hdr_t) = 24
  Section Body(Processor Error Section)
    - sizeof(before mod_error_info) = 32
    - sizeof(sal_log_mod_error_info_t) = 48
    - sizeof(sal_cpuid_info) = 48
    - sizeof(sal_log_mod_error_info_t) = 48
    - sizeof(sal_processor_static_info_t) = 5256
      (offset of struct ia64_fpreg fr[0]
        in sal_processor_static_info_t) = 3208

So, the total offset of fr[0] from beginning of the record is:
    40 + 24 + 32 + 48*n + 48 + 3208
This number can't be divided by 16. fr[0] never fit to the
16-byte boundary because of the remainder.

This trivial patch will fix this issue.

Thanks,

H.Seto
