Ah, I forgot that using nfsm_aligned() causes nfs_realign() to
be a NOP on architectures without strict alignment requirements
for performance reasons. That's generally fine but unfortunately
that way you don't actually exercise the code which caused the
problem before (unfortunately I still don't manage to hit the
unaligned case myself).
Could you please test with #ifdef __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT replaced
with #if 0 in sys/nfs/nfs_common.h? The vfs.nfs.realign_count
counter should also increase then.
