Hello,

I had based my patch off of net-next, which is where I do my work.

I'd be happy to rebase it on the "current tree", 
but given that mpicoder.c does not have an entry in MAINTAINERS, 
please clarify what you mean by "current tree" in this case.

do you mean

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git
or
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6.git
or 
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

(which are the three possible candidates I can see in MAINTAINERS).

It would be nice to get this bug fixed, since the fix is fairly
obvious, and the nuisance factor from the generated "unaligned
access" messages on the impacted non-intel platforms is quite high, 

thanks,
