There are two places that do

        if (rq->cmd != rq->__cmd)
                kfree(rq->cmd);

that would need to be adjusted if you did that.  Better to get __cmd
aligned on a good boundary by changing the declaration to

        int __cmd[BLK_MAX_CDB / sizeof (int)];

and adding a cast to blk_rq_init():

        rq->cmd = (char *)rq->__cmd;
