Subject[PATCH 3 of 5] xen-netfront: Avoid unaligned accesses to IP header
Date
From
From: Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>

Align ip header to a 16 byte boundary to avoid unaligned
access like other drivers.
Without this patch, xen-netfront doesn't work well on ia64.

[ Jeff, this is the only patch in the series which is in your
territory. -J ]
