I wonder if the issue Dave Miller addressed with
69ae517541ed5ab7d4fdcd8f82a9b8bd949df347 (fast-import: fix
unalinged allocation and access) applies here.

commit 69ae517541ed5ab7d4fdcd8f82a9b8bd949df347
Author: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    fast-import: fix unalinged allocation and access
    
    The specialized pool allocator fast-import uses aligned objects on the
    size of a pointer, which was not sufficient at least on Sparc.  Instead,
    make the alignment for objects of type unitmax_t.
