CPU_MIPS64 needs 8-byte alignment on the linker lists, otherwise an exception may occur. Fixes an issue found on malta64 with QEMU:
Breakpoint 1, lists_driver_lookup_name (name=0xffffffffbe043578 "root_driver") at /home/uboot/u-boot/drivers/core/lists.c:31 31 if (!strcmp(name, entry->name)) [...] ld a1,0(s0)
(gdb) p/x &entry->name 0xffffffffbe04b0d4 (gdb) p/x $s0 0xffffffffbe04b0d4
$ grep __u_boot_list /tmp/malta64/u-boot.objdump 4 __u_boot_list 000018e0 ffffffffbe04a4d4 ffffffffbe04a4d4 0004a584 2**2
