sky2: copy received packets on inefficient unaligned architecture
Modified from original patch from Chris. The sky2 driver has to have 8 byte alignment of receive buffer on some chip versions. On architectures which don't support efficient unaligned access this doesn't work very well. The solution is to just copy all received packets which is what the driver already does for small packets. This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses, just userspace.
