idt77252 is broken and wont load on amd64 systems
  modprobe idt77252 shows the following

    idt77252_init: skb->cb is too small (48 < 56)

  Add packed attribute to struct idt77252_skb_prv and struct atm_skb_data
  so that the total size can be <= sizeof(skb->cb)
  Also convert runtime size check to buildtime size check in
  idt77252_init()
