__log_buf must be aligned, because a 64-bit value is written directly
to it as part of struct log. Alignment of the log entries is typically
handled by log_store(), but this only triggers for subsequent entries,
not the very first (or wrapped) entries.
Thanks for tracking this down and fixing it, much appreciated.  I've
applied your patch now.
