Subject: bi_record location Error ?

The _ALIGN macro is defined as follows :-

#define _ALIGN(addr,size)        (((addr)+size-1)&(~(size-1)))

However all uses of the ALIGN macro for bi_record location already add the size eg.

rec = (struct bi_record *)_ALIGN((ulong)__bss_start+(1<<20)-1,(1<<20));

The use of _ALIGN for the bi_records is consistent but is there a reason for the double size offset or is it a simple typo ?
