:Mmm, setting __cachealign on struct field (i.e. in emx_softc) does not
:achieve what I want here: I want the struct's size to be (N *
:cacheline_size) in addition to be cacheline_size aligned.  So in
:ifpoll, CPU0's writing to rx_data[0] will not pollute rx_data[1]'s
:cache in CPU1.

    Ah, I see.  Yes, that makes sense.  In the old days we would
    accomplish that by explicitly padding the structure, or creating
    an enclosing structure with the pad to declare the array as.

    In anycase, I guess __cachealign is fine.  I just hate using that
    GCC extension, it is so non-standard.
