Hi Dave: [TCP]: Fix TCP header misalignment
Indeed my previous change to alloc_pskb has made it possible for the TCP header to be misaligned iff the MTU is not a multiple of 4 (and less than a page). So I suspect the optimised IPsec MTU calculation is giving you just such an MTU :) This patch fixes it by changing alloc_pskb to make sure that the size is at least 32-bit aligned. This does not cause the problem fixed by the previous patch because max_header is always 32-bit aligned which means that in the SG/NOTSO case this will be a no-op. I thought about putting this in the callers but all the current callers are from TCP. If and when we get a non-TCP caller we can always create a TCP wrapper for this function and move the alignment over there.
