Fix nvlist 'Bus Error' for Sparc
The mis-aligned memory accesses in nvpair_native_embedded() and nvpair_native_embedded_array() will cause a 'Bus Error' for architectures such as Sparc which not fully byte addressible. To avoid this issue care is taken to avoid dereferencing the potentially mis-aligned packed nvlist_t.
