Hm, this breaks userspace notifications on 64-bit systems.
Userspace expects this to be aligned to 4, with your patch
it is aligned to 8 on 64-bit.

Without your patch I get the correct notification when deleting a SA:

ip x m

Deleted src 172.16.0.2 dst 172.16.0.1
proto esp spi 0x00000002 reqid 2 mode tunnel
replay-window 32
auth-trunc hmac(sha1) 0x31323334353637383930 96
enc cbc(aes) 0x31323334353637383930313233343536
sel src 10.0.0.0/24 dst 192.168.0.0/24

With your patch I get for the same SA:

ip x m

Deleted src 50.0.0.0 dst 0.0.0.0
proto 0 reqid 0 mode transport
replay-window 0 flag decap-dscp
auth-trunc hmac(sha1) 0x31323334353637383930 96
enc cbc(aes) 0x31323334353637383930313233343536
sel src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.234.255.255/0 proto igmp
