This is what I have.

Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] mvsas: Fix kernel panic on tile due to unaligned data
 access

slot->response is a 64 bit quantity (and accessed as such), but its alignment
is only 32 bits.  This doesn't cause a problem on x86, but apparently causes a
kernel panic on Tile:

Stack dump complete Kernel panic - not syncing:

Since the check is just for non-zero, split it to be two 32 bit accesses
(preserving speed in the fast path) and do a get_unaligned() in the slow path.

This is a modification of a wholly get_unaligned patch submitted by Paul Guo
