Currently, each router interface (RIF) consumes one entry in the RIFs table and there are no alignment constraints. This is going to change in subsequent patches where some RIFs will consume two table entries and their indexes will need to be aligned to the allocation size (even). Prepare for this change by converting the RIF index allocation to use gen_pool with the 'gen_pool_first_fit_order_align' algorithm. No Kconfig changes necessary as mlxsw already selects 'GENERIC_ALLOCATOR'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
