Subject: [PATCH]: fix lro_gen_skb() alignment

From: Andrew Gallatin <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:47:23 -0500

The inet_lro.c:lro_gen_skb() function fails to include
NET_IP_ALIGN padding at the front of the sk_buffs it creates,
leading to alignment warnings on architectures which require
strict alignment (seen on sparc64).  The attached patch
adds NET_IP_ALIGN padding.
