It looks liek ARM (and a few others) do this:
[dtor@hammer work]$ grep -r ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN arch/
arch/sh/include/asm/page.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN L1_CACHE_BYTES
arch/frv/include/asm/mem-layout.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN 8
arch/powerpc/include/asm/page_32.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN L1_CACHE_BYTES
arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN L1_CACHE_BYTES
arch/microblaze/include/asm/page.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN L1_CACHE_BYTES
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-tx49xx/kmalloc.h: * All happy, no need to define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip27/kmalloc.h: * All happy, no need to define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip32/kmalloc.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN 32
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip32/kmalloc.h:#define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN 128
