Hi guys,

Just got this one (Thanks for CCing me Ming, been extremely busy
lately).

So it looks from the report that this is the immediate-data and
unsolicited data-out flows, which indeed seem to violate the alignment
assumption. The reason is that isert post recv a contig rx_desc which
has both the headers and the data, and when it gets immediate_data it
will set the data sg to rx_desc+offset (which are the headers).

Stephen,
As a work-around for now, you should turn off immediate-data in your LIO
target. I'll work on a fix.

Thanks for reporting!
