On my x86_64 box the address of the buffer pointer right after the add
of ZD_PLCP_HEADER_SIZE is:
[   28.462273] buffer: ffff88003e310005

so it looks to me like it was perfectly aligned before the add. Is it
possible that it is not a new bug and we need a get_unaligend helper
here?
Possible, yeah, maybe before we only saw problems with the IP alignment
and somehow this shows up now. Not sure. Anyway, if that fixes it,
obviously we want such a patch :)
