I was planning to do that in the next revision of this series. BTW, I
guess the following in the arm linkage.h of kernel is useful too. Any
thoughts?

#define __ALIGN .align 0
#define __ALIGN_STR ".align 0"

BTW, I am not volunteering to convert all the assembly functions in ARM
to the new format:) I shall do it for armv7.
