[RFC][PATCH 01/10] put alignment macros in align.h

[Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>]

There are several definitions of alignment macros.  We'll take this
one out of kernel.h and put it in align.h for now.  We can't just
include kernel.h because it has many other definitions, and we'll
get circular dependencies.
