Dave, please explain. Why should I have anything to explain? :-) The fact that ia64 is doing a printk for an unaligned kernel load or store is what you should be asking questions about :) It's one thing if ia64 keeps track of unaligned accesses as a counter statistic, but emitting a printk for everyone is pretty anti-social. Unaligned accesses in the kernel are perfectly normal, and are absolutely going to happen in various kinds of networking setups.
