I checked again and this field is never read - only written to but to an aligned buffer. So there shouldn't be a problem. > Also, beside the asm/unaligned.h file I gave as an example, other header > files in include/linux/unaligned/ exist that provide alignment-related > macros, notably with _le and _be versions. Maybe you can find one that > combines the effects of both le32_to_cpu() and get_unaligned()? I looks like get_unaligned does the job for us already, so we can leave the le32_to_cpu out. But I cannot test it here because of missing big endian machine with efi and my two brain halfs are already swapped until confusion (start_sect is defined as _le32). Albert, I like to get a fix for this into 2013.04 if possible. Maybe someone with more endian experience can look at it quickly.
