I think that that members needs to be aligned, because this struct is
used for the jhash() computation.
when testing on x86_64, I discovered that jhash value wasn't the same,
for a same struct snet_event. Then I thougth about misaligned data, and
possible 'hole' between syscall and protocol.

anyway, I patched the code to use jhash_2words() or jhash_1word().
here is a patch, which apply on top of initial serie

thank you Patrick,
sam

    snet : delete attribute packed for snet_event and use proper jash functions
    
    the structure snet_event was using the attribute packed, which seems to be
    unnecessary.
    this patch also fix the good compute of hashes, by moving jash() to
    jash_1word() and jash_2words()
