[dm-devel] [PATCH] 2.4, 2.5: dm-ioctl.c: fix align_ptr() parameter

[Kevin Corry]

Change the "align" parameter to align_ptr() to an unsigned long.

On IA-64, the returned pointer looses it's upper half, which causes a
copy_to_user() call in results_to_user() to fail, which eventually
causes DM_TARGET_STATUS ioctls to fail.

Patch is against 2.4.20-dm-10, but also applies cleanly to 2.5.66.
