Only compile-tested - I don't have the hardware.

From code inspection, octeon_pci_write_core_mem() appears to be safe wrt
unaligned source. In any case, u8 fbuf[] was not guaranteed to be aligned
anyway.

Looks good to me but I'll let one of the liquidio guys review this first
before I apply it.

Felix is going to try this out this week to confirm. Let's wait for his ack.

This patch works.  I tested it with a LiquidIO II adapter.
