I'm on thin ice here, but I'm giving it a try:
(I'm counting on others correcting me if I'm directly wrong :)

I think the error is caused by some data-structure with 64bit variables
are not aligned by 64bit boundaries.

To fix it, you need to find the data-structure and change it.

The good news is that the kernel automagicly avoids the problem, so it
will not have any ill effects - if it bothers you, you can configure the
kernel to stop sending warnings.
