As the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte aligned memory location. But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good enough).
