1a27f7d9c2 ARM: Align stack to 8 bytes
The ARM ABI requires that the stack be aligned to 8 bytes as it is noted
in Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042d/index.html

Unaligned SP also causes the problem with variable-length arrays
allocation when VLA address becomes less than stack pointer during
aligning of this address, so the next 'push' in the stack overwrites
first 4 bytes of VLA.

3a96ad851f PXA: Align stack to 8 bytes
Part of this patch is by: Mikhail Kshevetskiy.

Stack must be aligned to 8 bytes on PXA (possibly all armv5te) for LDRD/STRD
instructions. In case LDRD/STRD is issued on an unaligned address, the behaviour
is undefined.

The issue was observed when working with the NAND code, which was rendered
disfunctional. Also, the vsprintf() function had serious problems with printing
64bit wide long longs. After aligning the stack, this wrong behaviour is no
longer present.

Tested on:
	Marvell Littleton PXA310 board
	Toradex Colibri PXA320 board
	Aeronix Zipit Z2 PXA270 handheld
	Voipac PXA270 board
