Thanks for testing.

Matt, skb->mac_header is either a pointer or an integer offset
depending upon whether we are building 32-bit or 64-bit.

Testing skb->mac_header is therefore wrong, because it's an
offset from a pointer in the 64-bit case and therefore it's
alignment does not indicate correctly the actual final alignment
of skb->head + skb->max_header.

Therefore you should test skb_mac_header(skb) and cast it with
(unsigned long).

Please respin this fix with that correction so I can apply it
and get this bug fixed, thanks!
