Change struct attribute to avoid aligned operations mismatch
Previous __alignment(4) allowed compiler to assume that operations are performed on aligned region. On ARM processor, this led to alignment fault as shown below: trapframe: 0xda9e5b10 FSR=00000001, FAR=a67b680e, spsr=60000113 r0 =00000000, r1 =00000068, r2 =0000007c, r3 =00000000 r4 =a67b6826, r5 =a67b680e, r6 =00000014, r7 =00000068 r8 =00000068, r9 =da9e5bd0, r10=00000011, r11=da9e5c10 r12=da9e5be0, ssp=da9e5b60, slr=a054f164, pc =a054f2cc <...> udp_input+0x264: ldmia r5, {r0-r3, r6} udp_input+0x268: stmia r12, {r0-r3, r6} This was due to instructions which do not support unaligned access, whereas for __alignment(2) compiler replaced ldmia/stmia with some logically equivalent memcpy operations. In fact, the assumption that 'struct ip' is always 4-byte aligned is definitely false, as we have no impact on data alignment of packet stream received. Another possible solution would be to explicitely perform memcpy() on objects of 'struct ip' type, which, however, would suffer from performance drop, and be merely a problem hiding. Please, note that this has nothing to do with ARM32_DISABLE_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS option, but is related strictly to compiler behaviour.
