Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] packet: make aligned size of struct tpacket{2,3}_hdr clear

From: Atzm Watanabe <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:53:32 +0900

struct tpacket{2,3}_hdr is aligned to a multiple of TPACKET_ALIGNMENT.
We may add members to them until current aligned size without forcing
userspace to call getsockopt(..., PACKET_HDRLEN, ...).
