sh: Ensure ST40-300 BogoMIPS value is consistent
A strange variation was seen in the BogoMIPS figure for the ST40-300. This was eventually tracked down to sensitivity to the alignment of the loop. So add an align directive to ensure this doesn't occur. Signed-off-by: Stuart Menefy <stuart.menefy@st.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
