(Code complexity being the downside) On fast paths we aren't going to add things like get_unaligned() calls. Every architecture should handle unaligned accesses properly, and for the fast paths the network driver should provide the packet fully aligned or take steps to make it so if it can't DMA directly into 2-byte offset buffers (such as copying the packet). What is the specific reason why you see packet headers unaligned? It's probably just some AVR networking driver that needs tweaks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
