Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] mac80211: slight optimization of addr compare

From: Ding Tianhong <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 15:15:28 +0800

Joe Perches add ether_addr_equal_unaligned to test if
possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses
the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal,
otherwise this uses memcmp.
