[IA64-SGI] fix unaligned memory access in snsc_event.c
It's been pointed out that environmental events from the system controllers on Altix machines cause the kernel to complain about unaligned memory accesses. This turns out to be because "be32_to_cpup()" didn't do everything I thought/hoped it did. I've added calls to pull the offending integers out of the buffers using get_unaligned() before feeding them to be32_to_cpup().
