[PATCH] Broadcom Sibyte SB1xxx save unaligned dma descriptor pointer fix

[Tom Rix]

This patch has a fix to drivers/net/sb1250-mac.c, the dma descriptor
table ptr is allocated, aligned and the aligned ptr is freed.  If the ptr
was not already aligned (usually is) then the free would not work of what
was returned by the kmalloc. A variable was added to store the unaligned
pointer so that it could be properly freed.

Can you submit that as a separate patch?
