OK.  I know what the Alpha instruction set is like, but I didn't
know what instructions gcc emits.  Depending on what it does
it might or might not work.

Well, Jason, this probably explains why USB doesn't work on the
Alpha.  There are lots of USB descriptors structs that I don't
align because that's how the device delivers them (i.e. as one
big chunk of descriptors, all concatenated).  I'll have to figure
out what the nicest way to handle it is.
