    If you are on an embedded arch then you can of course set the default
    kmalloc alignment.

    The requirement for kmalloc is that it returns memory that can be used for
    DMA. If the arch can only DMA into cacheline aligned objects then the
    correct method is to force kmalloc alignment to cacheline size.
