It was ARM/Xcale avila custom nanobsd build, error was caused adding
wlan0 into ng_bridge, while wlan0 was in tdma master (slot 0) mode,
with slot 1 there was no errors. Exact message here:

Not really sure, if this alignment error come from kdump, there is
really no dump device in this unit and other debugging facilities was
turned off to save space.
