[IA64-SGI] fix unaligned memory access in snsc_event.c

Browse source 
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().
