Sorry, yeah - I forgot to mention it. I removed it because it's
pointless. It's not actually aligning to anything (it doesn't calculate
an alignment based on the difference between the ROOTFS_SIZE and some
target multiple). Instead, it was just arbitrarily padding some
megabytes onto the end of the image file.
