Change usb_kbd driver to obey alignment requirements for USB DMA on
the buffer used for data transfer.  This is necessary for
architectures that enable dcache and enable USB DMA.

Surely you need to edit the malloc() call in usb_kbd_probe() instead of
adding __aligned to the type; does the alignment on the type really get
propagated into malloc(), or as custom code at the call-site somehow?

Yes, you're right.  I misread the code and thought it came from a
static allocation.  I got reassured when I added the change and the
cache flush alignment warnings went away, but I guess these alignment
things are always a crapshoot anyway.

I'll fix, thanks for finding that.
