Well we've seen at one report that it helps, on x86. And the alignment
thing is definitely a bug, so fixing it had to help somewhere. But yes,
it looks like there's a different bug leading to the same symptoms
elsewhere...

Here's a thought: iwl_rx_queue_update_write_ptr doesn't synchronise the
pointer rxq->bd memory to the device. So if you have a platform that's
not cache coherent for IO devices (mine is) that might be a problem.
