Hi,

this patch sets the default function alignment to 16 bytes in order to
get rid of some unwanted performance effects.

Please see also GCC commit "S/390: Set default function
alignment to 16."

Bye,
Stefan

ChangeLog:

	* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/sysdep.h(ENTRY): Use alignment of 16byte.
	* sysdeps/s390/s390-32/sysdep.h: Likewise.

“16 bytes”?  Maybe also reference Subversion revision (rXXX) in the
commit message if it's already committed to GCC.

The actual change looks fine to me (though I can't comment on the
performance implications 8-).

Thanks,
Florian
