Actually, on second thought, completely scratch my overkill suggestion.
It's actually wrong to be concerned with it anyway. FW_CFG_DATA_SIZE
doesn't dictate how we should access the data port, the fw-cfg protocol
does, and that says we should access exactly one byte. So, regardless of
the fw-cfg-data size, we'll never have to worry about the data port's
alignment, as we'll never access more than one byte from it.
