[PATCH 1/2] Make dtstruct variable to be 8 byte aligned kexec is creating a version 3 device tree to be backwards compatible. This version of the struct has 8-byte alignment for properties whose value is 8 or more bytes. As the code directly checks the pointer when deciding to add the alignment word, the struct memory must start on an 8 byte boundary. Force the dtstruct variable to be always 8 bytes aligned.
