Subject: dlm: align midcomms message buffer
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7847d35ac39fe92c94540e88ac3d0e177f52d9e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

dlm: align midcomms message buffer

gcc does not guarantee that an auto buffer is 64bit aligned.
This change allows sparc64 to work.
