Please run this past Bill Paul.

The reason for the pre-adjustment of the m_devget is to ensure
that the structure in the IP header is aligned, given the fact
that there is a 14 byte ethernet header in front of it.

An alignment of 16 should work on the Alpha and IA64, without
needing modification.

The m_devget basically copies the data to force it to be aligned
(ugly, but necessary on brain damaged hardware).

Are these changes really necessary for the Alpha to work?
