Fix the x86-64 cache alignment code to take pgoff into account.  Use the
x86 and MIPS cache alignment code as the basis for a generic cache
alignment function.

The old x86 code will always align the mmap to aliasing boundaries,
even if the program mmaps the file with a non-zero pgoff.

If program A mmaps the file with pgoff 0, and program B mmaps the file
with pgoff 1.  The old code would align the mmaps, resulting in misaligned
pages:

  A:  0123
  B:  123

After this patch, they are aligned so the pages line up:

  A: 0123
  B:  123

Proposed by Rik van Riel.
