>Description:
Any attempt to write a radioctl variable causes the kernel
to report an unaligned access. Obviously, there are alignment
bugs in the radioctl code. Because the kernel is doing a fixup,
the code still works.
>How-To-Repeat:
radioctl -w volume=255
pid 164 (radioctl): unaligned access: va=0x1200131b4 pc=0x120001e10 ra=0x120001c84 sp=0x1fffff530 op=stq
volume: 0 -> 255
