It's easy to find the address and symbol that causes the unalignd data
access according to the stack dump information. The following small
patch will fix it.

This change is harmless for platforms (like x86/x64) which support
unaligned data access but is critical for platforms those do not support
unaligned data access (like our platform: arch/tile).

I sent the patch but did not ping the status. I sync-up the workspace
and re-generate the patch again. Feel free to give me any feedback. It's
really annoying to maintain the change internally.

Thanks,
Paul
