Actually sorry. For some stupid reason I had missed this before (or more
specifically as I was reviewing backwards today):

commit 2f37b165767202d7438aac98710f20038d197542
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai at kernel.org>

    pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden code

This is the one and it is in 2.6.31.6.
