[SCSI] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: a fix on "kernel unaligned access address" issue

There was an issue in the data structure defined by megaraid driver
casuing "kernel unaligned access.." messages to be displayed during
IOCTL on IA64 platform.

The issue has been reported/fixed by Sakurai Hiroomi
[sakurai_hiro@soft.fujitsu.com].

 	Fix: MegaRAID F/W has fixed the problem and being process of release,
 	soon. Meanwhile, driver will filter out the request.
 
+3.	One of member in the data structure of the driver leads unaligne

+	Customer reporeted "kernel unaligned access addrss" issue when

+	Root Cause: in uioc_t structure, one of member had misaligned and it
+	led system to display the error message.
+	Fix: A patch submitted to community from following folk.
