When building for Thumb2, the .alt.smp.init sections that are emitted by the ALT_UP() patching code may not be 32-bit aligned, even though the fixup_smp_on_up() routine expects that. This results in alignment faults at module load time, which need to be fixed up by the fault handler. So let's align those sections explicitly, and avoid this from occurring.
