hm, -tip testing has found that this patch causes a hard hang during 
bootup:

 initcall ali_init+0x0/0x1b returned 0 after 3 msecs
 calling  amd_init+0x0/0x1b
 bus: 'pci': add driver pata_amd
 bus: 'pci': driver_probe_device: matched device 0000:00:06.0 with driver pata_amd
 bus: 'pci': really_probe: probing driver pata_amd with device 0000:00:06.0
 pata_amd 0000:00:06.0: version 0.3.10
 pata_amd 0000:00:06.0: setting latency timer to 64
 [hard hang]

should have continued with:

 scsi0 : pata_amd
 device: 'host0': device_add
 device: 'host0': device_add
 scsi1 : pata_amd
 [... etc. ... ]

on an AMD X2 testsystem. (Asus board) Can send more info on request. 
Config is:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Fri_Aug_15_18_30_56_CEST_2008.bad

Any idea why that is so? Apparently the alignment change wasnt as benign 
as assumed.
