I like __KERNEL_ALIGN trick.

Sorry for attachment, my patch sending facility is broke.
Tested on iptables compilation.

[PATCH] xtables: make XT_ALIGN() usable in exported headers

XT_ALIGN() was rewritten through ALIGN() by commit 42107f5009da223daa800d6da6904d77297ae829
"netfilter: xtables: symmetric COMPAT_XT_ALIGN definition".
ALIGN() is not exported in userspace headers, which created compile problem for tc(8)
and will create problem for iptables(8).

We can't export generic looking name ALIGN() but we can export less generic
__ALIGN_KERNEL() (suggested by Ben Hutchings).
Google knows nothing about __ALIGN_KERNEL().

COMPAT_XT_ALIGN() changed for symmetry.
