[PATCH] `unaligned access' in acpi get_root_bridge_busnr()

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of
an unsigned long.  This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an
int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment
through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.
