[PATCH 3/5] driver edac mod edac_align_ptr function

[dougthompson@xmission.com]

From:   Douglas Thompson <dougthompson@xmission.com>

refactor the edac_align_ptr() function to reduce the noise of
casting the aligned pointer to the various types of data objects
and modified its callers to its new signature
