> Herbert Xu's commit fb93134dfc2a6e6fbedc7c270a31da03fce88db9, entitled
> "[TCP]: Fix size calculation in sk_stream_alloc_pskb", has triggered a
> bug in the 5701 where the 5701 DMA engine will corrupt outgoing
> packets.  This problem only happens when the starting address of the
> packet matches a certain range of offsets and only when the 5701 is
> placed downstream of a particular Intel bridge.
> 
> This patch detects the problematic bridge and if present, readjusts the
> starting address of the packet data to a dword aligned boundary.
