You were saying?

[ 6400.609361] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10258734] copy_to_user_state+0x54/0x9c [xfrm_user]
[ 6400.609498] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10258734] copy_to_user_state+0x54/0x9c [xfrm_user]
[ 6400.667575] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10258734] copy_to_user_state+0x54/0x9c [xfrm_user]
[ 6400.667707] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10258734] copy_to_user_state+0x54/0x9c [xfrm_user]

This problem has existed for a long time.  In this specific case even
if you use memcpy() (in fact memcpy() is being used here) GCC sees the
types and says it can do aligned 64-bit loads and stores to do the
memcpy() inline.
