Subject: [NETFILTER]: introduce and use aligned_u64 data type
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc1~1035^2~101
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ba2c6e8c0fb5cde5a23a213c2e7cb851b85c310;p=linux.git

[NETFILTER]: introduce and use aligned_u64 data type

As proposed by Andi Kleen, this is required esp. for x86_64 architecture,
where 64bit code needs 8byte aligned 64bit data types, but 32bit userspace
apps will only align to 4bytes.
