Dear Alessandro Rubini,

This has already been applied, sooner than usual. Isn't it cleaner to force alignment on the structure itself? This way different architectures may use different values, if the need arises.
It would be better, but how to implement that? Please keep in mind that the pointers are set up in aseembler code, where we don't have such things as "struct" etc. We're dealing with raw addresses here, which is the reason we have to go through all this effort with asm-offsets and such.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
