Hmmm, you said that this has to be 64 byte aligned right?  We might have
to do something in order to insure that, as kmalloc() only guarantees
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which I think is 8 on sparc.

I suppose this would work:

	mondo = kzalloc(64 + 63, GFP_KERNEL);

and then 64-byte align that pointer.
