s390 dasd

This made me think to change my rootfs, and of course the problem goes
away once on something like a SCSI volume.

So crawling through the dasd (instead of virtio) driver and I finally
find the point where a change to dma_alignment (which you mentioned
earlier) would actually fit.

Such a change fixes this for me, so I'll run it by our DASD guys.
Thanks for your help and patience.
