Subject: [PATCH 01/16] dlm: use proper C for dlm/requestqueue stuff (and fix alignment bug)

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

a) don't cast the pointer to dlm_header *, we use it as dlm_message *
   anyway.
b) we copy the message into a queue element, then pass the pointer to
   copy to dlm_receive_message_saved(); declare it properly to make sure
   that we have the right alignment.
