>Description:
	Sean Doran (smd@ebone.net) reports a panic on his alpha,
	the root cause was a misaligned access in sbdrop().
	His traceback...

	Note that the pool_get panic is secondary, the real problem is
	the misaligned access in sbdrop().

fatal kernel trap:
panic: pool_get(mbpl): free list modified: magic=0; page 0xfffffc00029ca000;
item addr 0xfffffc00029caa10
