I use a Linux 2.6.9 for MPC8260 and the arch/ppc/lib/rheap.c file.
I have no arch/powerpc tree in this kernel.

Before applying the patch, I was not able to get a right aligned area
with cpm_dpalloc. After applying it, cpm_dpalloc seems to be right
until I use cpm_dpfree and then cpm_dpalloc on the same area.

Another idea ?
Thanks
