[Fwd: cvs commit: src/sys/kern sys_generic.c]

Maybe this fixes poll() problems/errors some people have seen on their
machines.  I am not sure if this alignment would have caused problems
on non-ia32 architectures but it is certainly more correct now. ;-)

    sys/kern             sys_generic.c 
  Log:
  Poll() uses the array smallbits that is big enough to hold 32 struct
  pollfd's to avoid calling malloc() on small numbers of fd's.  Because
  smalltype's members have type char, its address might be misaligned
  for a struct pollfd.  Change the array of char to an array of struct
  pollfd.
