4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Huacai Chen <[email protected]>

commit bec0de4cfad21bd284dbddee016ed1767a5d2823 upstream.

KEXEC needs the new kernel's load address to be aligned on a page
boundary (see sanity_check_segment_list()), but on MIPS the default
vmlinuz load address is only explicitly aligned to 16 bytes.

Since the largest PAGE_SIZE supported by MIPS kernels is 64KB, increase
the alignment calculated by calc_vmlinuz_load_addr to 64KB.
