[PATCH] avoid unaligned access when accessing poll stack
Commit 70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f:
[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack
resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures,
causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array.
This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead
of 'char'.
Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned
access on 64 bit architectures.
