Two drivers, FWIW... :-)
Given that we don't have a CONFIG_MUST_ALIGN at present, I'm not sure
it is worth adding one for either an iwlwifi fix or a mac80211 one.
Or are there other issues that might be resolved or aided by such
a definition? It doesn't seem to have been needed so far.
Maybe it would be easier to add a CONFIG_MAC80211_ALIGN_PAYLOAD option
around some code in mac80211 to fix-up alignments? Then users of
alignment-sensitive arches could turn-on that option, and the rest
of us would leave it off. Another (non-exclusive) option would be
to put CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG around the alignment warning so that
most people would never see it.
Thoughts? I'm just looking for a resolution... :-)
