unaligned structures coming in off the wire gcc on arm processors generates very odd code with pragma pack specified - although it does pack the structures in some sense - it does not allow you to access unaligned elements in nested structures at the right offset as other architectures do. Oddly enough though, specifying the structures as packed the long way - one by one with the packed attribute does work. Rather than fighting over whether this is a gcc bug or some obscure side effect of pragma pack, it is easier to do what most (all but 96 other places in the kernel) do - and replace pragma pack with dozens of attribute(packed) structure qualifiers. Much more verbose ... but at least it works.
