Whilst it is almost always possible to arrange for scan data to be read directly into a buffer that is suitable for passing to iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(), there are a few places where leading data needs to be skipped over. For these cases introduce a function that will allocate an appropriate sized and aligned bounce buffer (if not already allocated) and copy the unaligned data into that before calling iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() on the bounce buffer. We tie the lifespace of this buffer to that of the iio_dev.dev which should ensure no memory leaks occur.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
