Dear Joel Fernandes,

> As seen on GCC 4.6 Linaro compiler, control_req buffer is not aligned
> on 4 byte boundaray causing data aborts in eth_setup -> conf_buf
> during dhcp boot over usb_ether. Fix the issue my aligning control_req
> buffer using DEFINE_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER.

> Tested on am335x_evm platform (beaglebone).
> Applies on 2013.10-rc1 branch.
