Subject: [PATCH] marvell sky2 driver: fix so it works without unaligned accesses

The driver uses a receive_new() routine that ends up requiring unaligned
accesses in IP header processing.  If the architecture doesn't support
efficient unaligned accesses, just copy all ingress packets to the bounce
buffers instead.

This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since
the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses,
just userspace.
