Subject: [PATCH] pxamci: fix byte aligned DMA transfers

From: Philipp Zabel <philipp.zabel@...il.com>

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.

For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.
