Jonas Gorski dba8a58b46 brcm63xx: hack around jffs2 corruption with SMP
mempy_fromio seems to be randomly failing when the destination is
unaligned; work around it by forcing the name to be aligned in memory.

Should fix jffs2 and SMP for now, but needs to be some additional
looking into as it does not fix the source.

Subject: [RFC] jffs2: work around unaligned accesses failing on bcm63xx/smp
Unligned memcpy_fromio randomly fails with an unaligned dst. Work around
it by ensuring we are always doing aligned copies.
Should fix filename corruption in jffs2 with SMP.
