types.h: define __aligned_u64 and expose to userspace
We currently have a kernel internal type called aligned_u64 which aligns
__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align
them on 4 byte boundaries. This patch creates a new type __aligned_u64
which does the same thing but which is exposed to userspace rather than
being kernel internal.
[akpm: merge early as both the net and audit trees want this]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: enhance the comment describing the reasons for using aligned_u64. Via Andreas and Andi.]
