The problem I am seeing is that the memory allocated by malloc is
aligned, but the layout of the struct in the allocated memory is not
aligned. The structs are *packed* on CRIS and using union and struct
makes it impossible to make all fields of that struct/union to align to
4 (or 2^n). So to fix this it will not help if I change the malloc,
because this problem is related to how CRIS gcc does struct/union
layout.

Also is there any other part of pnet, that uses this kind of hack...
