ARM: 6961/1: zImage: Add build-time check for correctly-sized proc_type entries
It is easy to mis-maintain the proc_types table such that the
entries become wrongly-sized and misaligned when the kernel is
built in Thumb-2.
This patch adds an assembly-time check which will turn most common
size/alignment mistakes in this table into build failures, to avoid
having to debug the boot-time kernel hang which would happen if the
resulting kernel were actually booted.
