Align equal signs while including text over equalities
I understand how to align multiple equations, but how can I do this if I want to also have text over the equalities. For example:

It bugs me that the equal signs are no longer aligned. Here is my LaTeX:
$$
begin{align}
p(textbf{x} mid mathcal{D}, alpha)
&= int p(textbf{x} mid boldsymbol{theta}) p(boldsymbol{theta} mid mathcal{D}, alpha) text{d} boldsymbol{theta}
\
&stackrel{text{Eq 4}}{=} int p(textbf{x} mid boldsymbol{theta}) p(boldsymbol{theta} mid alpha') text{d} boldsymbol{theta}
\
&= p(textbf{x} mid alpha'). tag{5}
end{align}
$$
Is there a solution to this?

Fair point. I'm technically using MathJax, which requires this to work, but I should have edited it for the post.

Here I use mathclap to insure that the overstack takes up zero horizontal space.
Also, change the textbf instances to mathbf (thanks, Mico).
Finally, ditch the $$ delimiters.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools}
begin{document}
begin{align}
p(mathbf{x} mid mathcal{D}, alpha)
&= int p(mathbf{x} mid boldsymbol{theta}) p(boldsymbol{theta} mid mathcal{D}, alpha) text{d} boldsymbol{theta}
\
&stackrel{mathclap{text{Eq 4}}}{=} int p(mathbf{x} mid boldsymbol{theta}) p(boldsymbol{theta} mid alpha') text{d} boldsymbol{theta}
\
&= p(mathbf{x} mid alpha'). tag{5}
end{align}
end{document}

@Mico Thanks, Mico. Hadn't even noticed.
