[SCSI] relax scsi dma alignment
This patch relaxes the default SCSI DMA alignment from 512 bytes to 4 bytes. I remember from previous discussions that usb and firewire have sector size alignment requirements, so I upped their alignments in the respective slave allocs. The reason for doing this is so that we don't get such a huge amount of copy overhead in bio_copy_user() for udev. (basically all inquiries it issues can now be directly mapped).
