Do you want me to enforce unsigned long alignment for all that are used by locked BTS/BTR? There are quite a few/many those places. x86_capability is one that is found in boot time. I tried to find split lock issues in (very limited) tests; but so far only find the issue in x86_capability in the tests.
Or you think we can push the patches upstream to allow broad test to find and fix the issues?
Thanks.
