Thanks for the patch. We made a few changes to the patch:

- use put_user instead of copy_to_user for simple data types.
- Couple of more instances where a 64 bit copy needs to be split into two

compat_filldir64():	__put_user(offset, &dirent->d_off)
compat_sys_getdents64():	__put_user(d_off, &lastdirent->d_off)

With these changes, we don't see unaligned faults anymore.
