Hallo,

  a size of 'struct vpglocks' is padded to CACHE_LINE_SIZE size in
'sys/vm/vm_page.h'
header file. I work on a 'coldfire' port where CACHE_LINE_SIZE is 16 bytes and
sizeof(struct mtx) is 20 bytes thus size alignment doesn't work.

  I solved it somehow, but I like to learn how to solve it in spirit
of FreeBSD.
There are a couple of possibilities:

A1. Do nothing for small CACHE_LINE_SIZE.
A2. Pad to multiple of CACHE_LINE_SIZE.

B1. use #if with CACHE_LINE_SIZE
B2. use #if with __coldfire__

When I use B1 solution I need to known sizeof(struct mtx) value in
preprocessing time.
So, is it correct to use something like 'assym.s' magic
(sys/i386/i386/genassym.c)
in MI code? Or has someone another suggestion?

   Regards, Svata
