Kernel is yesterday's CVS. gcc is 3.3.1. config is ddb5477. No
additional patch. See below.
In any case if you look at the uart code you should see there
is a problem already. 'state' is allocated through kmalloc() which only
gives 4-byte alignement. The only puzzling thing is that why this
did not show up before. Maybe kmalloc() was giving 8-byte aligned block?
