While indeed it was 8 in all original locations, I question that for Arm32
(and a possible future RV32, for example); imo it wants to be ...

... exactly like this. Preferably with that change (happy to carry out while
committing, alongside a respective addition to the description, so long as
there's agreement):

I thought the same.  struct scheduler is entirely pointers, and one
unsigned int.

I'm pretty sure that this "array" predates the introduction of
POINTER_ALIGN.

So yes, with it converted to POINTER_ALIGN, Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper

Converting to POINTER_ALIGN works for me.

Thanks,
Jason
