+ * Data with an alignment stricter than its size.
+ *
+ * A cloned data section has to keep its sh_addralign.  The kernel has plenty
+ * of data whose alignment is a correctness property rather than an
+ * optimisation -- per-CPU variables, anything touched by an aligned SSE move,
+ * cacheline-aligned locks -- and a clone that lands under-aligned faults or
+ * silently shares a cacheline it was written to avoid.
+ *
+ * The object is new in the patched build, so klp diff has to clone it rather
+ * than reference the kernel's copy.
