In particular in the PV case xzalloc_bytes() forcing SMP_CACHE_BYTES
alignment is counterproductive, as the allocation size there is only 40
bytes. And if the code really cared about such higher than default
alignment, it should request so explicitly rather than using a type-
unsafe interface. Plus if e.g. cache line sharing was a concern, the
allocator itself should arrange to avoid such.
