Subject: [PATCH] Fix kernel unaligned access with r8169 on sparc64

Hi all,

When using the r8169 gigabit ethernet network driver under a Sun Entreprise 
450, you will encounter a lot of kernel unaligned access on ip_rcv and 
ip_fast_csum. The full report is available here : 
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg363433.htm

The following patch against 2.6.22-rc6 will fix this problem.
