This patch fixes a bug found by Nish Aravamudan (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/15/220) where the driver is not following the spec (it is not aligning the rx buffer on a 16-byte boundary) and the hypervisor aborts the registration, making the device unusable. The fix follows BenH's recommendation (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/20/461) to replace the kmalloc+map for a single call to dma_alloc_coherent() because that function always aligns to a 16-byte boundary. The stable trees will run into this bug whenever the rx buffer kmalloc call returns something not aligned on a 16-byte boundary.
