How about the following?

unsigned char *tail = buf + buflen - slop;
unsigned char pad[4];

if (rw == READ) {
if (slop <= 2)
ioread16_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
else
ioread32_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
memcpy(tail, pad, slop);
} else {
memcpy(pad, tail, slop);
memset(pad + slop, 0, 4 - slop);
if (slop <= 2)
iowrite16_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
else
iowrite32_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
}

return (buflen + 1) & ~1;

Well, I guess I could just have posted my own patch... :-)
