Let's not crap up implementations with these ifdefs.

What's the specific situation here?  Is it that 'data1' and/or
'data2' my not be u16 aligned?

If so, make a function for that in linux/etherdevice.h and invoke it
in such places.  You can name it something like
"ether_addr_equal_unaligned()" or similar.

Thanks.
