The cleanup that you applied did NOT move any ALIGN() - or
at least not on purpose.
It was supposed to be a noop from a functionality point of view.

I have started to unify the the two vmlinux.lds files for
32 and 64 bit - and as part of that serie (yet to be published) you will
see individual commits where ALING() is moved and secitons
are reordered etc.
I do this in baby steps so we can track regressions using bisect.

The work is done on top of x86/kbuild and I will rebase as needed when
I have it ready.
