This one may appear harmless, but it is not.  It is trivially easy to create
an alignment fault (fatal on an alpha) with the userland pciconf tool.
We must not allow this to be used by users until the kernel part is fixed.

Eg: try this on an alpha: pciconf -r -l pci0:x:x 0x3 - ie: read a longword
at byte offset 3 in configuration space.. kaboom!

Cheers,
