From 617a20bbd099040b68f3578a0a1da5e8780d1831 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Isaku Yamahata Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:50:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xen-netfront: Avoid unaligned accesses to IP header 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.
