 It's not clear either from this patch description or from the commit 
referred what the actual *purpose* of the alignment check is and therefore 
I think it's hard to say which of the two commits needs to be indicated as 
the offender.  Without further data I tend to agree it's 79edff12060f that 
ought to be referred, being the immediate cause of the regression, as 
things obviously worked before, for 5+ years.

This patch was already taken. Do I need to do any thing?

 No, unless Thomas chimes in, especially since you've posted v2 already (I 
hope he's sorted the stable part).  Overall we need better change 
descriptions though.
