for alignment does not make sense. Check for negative value too.
First, if you want to get patches merged you should send them to the subsystem
maintained (in this case Chas, who I've cc:'ed) Also if you feel it needs to
be sent to mailing list you should usually use a more specific list first
(like the ATM list or maybe netdev) Please see
