misc: fix alignment warnings on ARM

Some temporary char buffers allocated on the stack are not properly
aligned when typecast to a structure containing __u32 or __u64 types,
and this can cause alignment warnings on ARM and other alignment
sensitive architectures, and potential slowdowns to do fixups.

Fix the buffer alignment to avoid such issues.
