         Fix: MegaRAID F/W has fixed the problem and being process of release,
         soon. Meanwhile, driver will filter out the request.
 
+3.      One of member in the data structure of the driver leads unaligne
+        issue on 64-bit platform.
+        Customer reporeted "kernel unaligned access addrss" issue when
+        application communicates with MegaRAID HBA driver.
+        Root Cause: in uioc_t structure, one of member had misaligned and it
+        led system to display the error message.
+        Fix: A patch submitted to community from following folk.
