That link does not work. You probably meant
	http://crbug.com/1193732

You'll probably want drop the link and to copy the relevant information
directly into the patch description. Generate the error with an upstream
kernel and cut-and-paste the output here.

For others, the observed error message is:

block/blk-mq.c:622:44: error: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte
	aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result
	in an unaligned pointer access [-Werror,-Walign-mismatch]

Thanks,
Guenter
