From: Sebastian Siewior <cbe-oss-dev at ml.breakpoint.cc>
According to the comment in spufs_init_isolated_loader(), the isolated
loader should be aligned on a 16 byte boundary.
ARCH_{KMALLOC,SLAB}_MINALIGN is not defined so only 8 byte alignment is
guaranteed.
This patch enforces alignment via __get_free_pages.
