gcc does not guarantee that a static buffer is 64bit aligned. This change
allows sparc64 to work.
This buffer is not static: changelog needs fixing: s/static/auto/

Why does DLM require that this thing be 64-bit aligned?
It all looks rather ugly. Can't this stuff be implemeted within the C type
system somehow?
how about this one:
