Subject: [PATCH 12/17] prmem: linked list: set alignment
As preparation to using write rare on the nodes of various types of
lists, specify that the fields in the basic data structures must be
aligned to sizeof(void *)
It is meant to ensure that any static allocation will not cross a page
boundary, to allow pointers to be updated in one step.
