From 51b190b304bbeb1090ba20b0623d39917fa62997 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Chubb Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 22:45:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] `unaligned access' in acpi get_root_bridge_busnr() In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of an unsigned long. This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.
