Unaligned access traps are pretty expensive on the parisc, so we don't actually handle them when they're from the kernel, we panic instead (and expect the problem code to be fixed).
Welcome to the real world, unaligned accesses are perfectly legal in the networking stack.
They are in fact guarenteed to occur when certain protocols are encapsulated in others.
Please add an unaligned trap handler for parisc64, thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
