The failure initially observed as boot failure on rx3600 ia64 machine
with RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array P600:
kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8b95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8e95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
hpsa 0000:14:01.0: Controller reports max supported commands of 0 Using 16 instead. Ensure that firmware is up to date.
swapper/0[1]: error during unaligned kernel access
Here unaligned access comes from 'struct CommandList' that happens
to be packed. The change f749d8b7a ("scsi: hpsa: Correct dev cmds
outstanding for retried cmds") introduced unexpected padding and
un-aligned atomic_t from natural alignment to something else.
This change does not remove packing annotation from struct but only
restores alignment of atomic variable.
The change is tested on the same rx3600 machine.
