    Subject[PATCH 01/14] x86, boot: align the .bss section in the decompressor
    Date
    From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

    Aligning the .bss section makes it trivially faster, and makes using
    larger transfers for the clear slightly easier.

    [ Impact: trivial performance enhancement, future patch prep ]
