	IBM WorkPad z50 (hpcmips)

>Description:
	Due to unaligned memory accesses in awi_rxint() and awi_txint(), the
	awi driver crashes on platforms that do not permit unaligned memory
	accesses.

	Such accesses are expected, because the descriptors are not guaranteed
	to be aligned.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to use an awi card on a hpcmips platform.  (Presumably the same
	problem will occur on an Alpha.)

>Fix:
	Alter awi_rxint() and awi_txint() to use byte accesses.
