Re: [PATCH v2 04/14] Running with --enable-ubsan leads to a qtest failure

I think the subject should tell what this patch does and perhaps the 
underlying problem it solves instead of the symptom. It may be nice to 
have a prefix "tests/qtest/libqos/igb:" to comply the convention.

It does not assure an alignment is correct but instead performs an 
unaligned access.

This line has are extra parentheses.
