[PATCH 07/16] mm: fix cache coloring on x86_64 architecture

[Michel Lespinasse]

Fix the x86-64 cache alignment code to take pgoff into account.
Use the x86 and MIPS cache alignment code as the basis for a generic
cache alignment function.

The old x86 code will always align the mmap to aliasing boundaries,
even if the program mmaps the file with a non-zero pgoff.

If program A mmaps the file with pgoff 0, and program B mmaps the
file with pgoff 1. The old code would align the mmaps, resulting in
misaligned pages:

A:  0123
B:  123

After this patch, they are aligned so the pages line up:

A: 0123
B:  123
