Uhm... It doesn't seem to be the same problem. I get errors *ONLY* when there's
disk I/O (didn't try with other PCI traffic).

It actually helped. I disabled a bunch of PCI related options and the number of
alignment errors dropped to 1/10 of the original number. I didn't isolate which
option does the trick (I don't have the time), but it's for sure related to PCI.
