From 801110ab22be1ef258338345fc0b645af074d5bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 17:01:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] find_ram_offset: Align ram_addr_t allocation on long boundaries The dirty bitmaps are built from 'long's and there is fast-path code for synchronising the case where the RAMBlock is aligned to the start of a long boundary. Align the allocation to this boundary to cause the fast path to be used.
