that should have said "on 64-bit PARISC architectures" this can be fixed in the kernel with a alignment handler, which we don't have in the palinux kernel yet. > Someone is doing screwy alignment, you can see that all the starts of all > those buffers are aligned by 4 and they are at the start of the structure, > and structures are 'aligned by size'.
