---Problem Description---

A data integrity issue was observed with the Ubuntu 20.04 - 5.4.0-52 and
20.10 - 5.8.0-26 kernel on Power 9.  The root cause is found in the
compiling of  p9_hmi_special_emu().  When doing a VMX store (in
__get_user_atomic_128_aligned()) to a buffer (vbuf), the buffer is not
128 bit aligned.
