Locked BTS/BTR accesses a single unsigned long location. In 64-bit mode, the location is at: base address of x86_capability + (bit offset in x86_capability / 64) * 8 Since base address of x86_capability may not be aligned to unsigned long, the single unsigned long location may cross two cache lines and accessing the location by locked BTS/BTR introductions will trigger #AC. To fix the split lock issue, align x86_capability to unsigned long so that the location will be always within one cache line. Changing x86_capability[]'s type to unsigned long may also fix the issue because x86_capability[] will be naturally aligned to unsigned long. But this needs additional code changes. So choose the simpler solution by setting alignment to size of unsigned long.
