[PATCH] x86_64: Set ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp alignment to 128 bytes

The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support -
but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny!

Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for
example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock.  I.e.  we have
a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them.

No correctness issues, obviously.  So this could even be merged for 2.6.14
(I'm not a fan of this idea, though).
