[PATCH] libertas: add abilty to set DMA buffers alignmnet for SPI interface in compile time

[Mike Rapoport]

Different SPI controllers pose different alignment requirements on DMAable
buffers. It's possible to alter the SPI controller driver to use it's own
properly aligned buffers for DMA and copy the data it gets from the client
into these buffers. However, this approach also impacts overall performance.
Adding ability to set DMA buffers alignment for SPI interface in compile
time prevents unnecessary memcpy calls.
