The standard GITS_TRANSLATER register in ITS is only 4 bytes, but
Hisilicon expands the next 4 bytes to carry some IMPDEF information. That
means, total 8 bytes data will be written to MSIAddress each time.

MSIAddr: |----4bytes----|----4bytes----|
	 |    MSIData   |    IMPDEF    |

There is no problem for ITS, because the next 4 bytes space is reserved
in ITS. But it will overwrite the 4 bytes memory following "sync_count".
It's very fortunately that the previous and the next neighbour of the
"sync_count" are both aligned by 8 bytes, so no problem is met now.

It's good to explicitly add a workaround:
1. Add gcc __attribute__((aligned(8))) to make sure that "sync_count" is
   always aligned by 8 bytes.
2. Add a "int" struct member to make sure the 4 bytes padding is always
   exist.

There is no functional change.

I thought the conclusion after reviewing your original patch was to maintain
the union and drop the alignment directive? e.g.

	union {
		u32	sync_count;
		u64	padding; /* Hi16xx writes an extra 32 bits of goodness */
	};

Nit: I know that there is no functional change related to this bug which 
depends on the chip version, but how about "hi1620 and earlier"? hi16xx 
is very broad.

Thanks
