For those not in the MR discussion, this is about the cmsg payload length
from the packet-timestamp option, not the general message length.
As Alice would say, "curiouser and curiouser". Just when I think I've
figured out the reason for one bit of bizarreness, you find another. :-)
Actually, I think I understand the 20-byte case as well. It's adding yet
another 4 bytes of padding so that the *overall cmsg length* is 64-bit
aligned. It's of course impossible for both the payload and the complete
message to be 64-bit aligned at the same time, since the header length is
an odd multiple of 32 bits.
What's the breakdown in the 32-bit NetBSD case? One would hope that the
payload is 64+32 and not vice versa.
