Trying VMAP_STACK with KVM, vmlinux was not starting.
This was due to SRR0 and SRR1 clobbered by an ISI due to
the rfi being in a different page than the mtsrr0/1:
c0003fe0 <mmu_off>:
c0003fe0: 38 83 00 54 addi r4,r3,84
c0003fe4: 7c 60 00 a6 mfmsr r3
c0003fe8: 70 60 00 30 andi. r0,r3,48
c0003fec: 4d 82 00 20 beqlr
c0003ff0: 7c 63 00 78 andc r3,r3,r0
c0003ff4: 7c 9a 03 a6 mtsrr0 r4
c0003ff8: 7c 7b 03 a6 mtsrr1 r3
c0003ffc: 7c 00 04 ac hwsync
c0004000: 4c 00 00 64 rfi
Align the 4 instruction block used to deactivate MMU to order 4,
so that the block never crosses a page boundary.
