There is an assertion in __call_rcu() that checks only the bottom bit of the rcu_head pointer, rather than the bottom two (as might be expected for 32-bit systems) or the bottom three (as might be expected for 64-bit systems). This choice might be a bit surprising in these days of ubiquitous 32-bit and 64-bit systems. This commit therefore records the reason for this odd alignment check, namely that m68k guarantees only two-byte alignment despite being a 32-bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
