Well, I think we still have a generic problem here: this patch addresses one
alignment problem by removing the alignment requirement, but we don't
know/can't be sure there aren't other places with such alignment requirements.

IOW, I think our emem APIs should, like malloc(), return memory which is
"suitably aligned for any kind of variable" (to quote the Linux malloc() man
page).
