netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align is not defined in the 2.6.32.27 vanilla
kernel. Someone else (google or ti) must have backported it to this
kernel and added it to your kernel.

I do not want to add some special handling into compat-wireless just for
some android kernel. Just remove netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and
NETDEV_POST_INIT from include/linux/compat-2.6.33.h and the compile
problems you posted should be fixed.
