Powerpc instructions must be word-aligned. Currently,
there is an alignment of 16 bytes (by default), and it is
much more than what is required for powerpc (4 bytes).
The default expansion of __ALIGN() macro is:
#define __ALIGN .align 4,0x90
Since Powerpc Linux does not require a 16 byte alignment,
override __ALIGN() and __ALIGN_STR() macros to use required
4 byte alignment.
