From 093d0faf57e59feee224217273f944e10e4e3562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haavard Skinnemoen Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 17:17:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [AVR32] Define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to L1_CACHE_BYTES This allows SLUB debugging to be used without fear of messing up DMA transfers. SPI is one example that easily breaks without this patch.
