New Revision: 261530
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/261530

Log:
  Set the malloc alignment to 64 bytes on platforms that use the U-Boot API
  device drivers.  Recent versions of u-boot run with the MMU enabled, and
  require DMA-based I/O to be aligned to cache line boundaries.
  
  These changes are based on a patch originally submitted by Juergen Weiss,
  but I reworked them and thus any problems are purely my fault.
