[PPP]: handle misaligned accesses
From: "Philippe De Muyter" <phdm@macqel.be> This patch avoids ppp-generated kernel crashes on machines where unaligned accesses are forbidden (ie: m68000), by fixing ppp alignment setting for reused skb's. Signed-off-by: Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be> Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
