Thanks Geert, I checked and x86_64 adds this padding anyway, so doesn't
result in any functional changes AFAICS. In any case, this is more
correct for a structure that is part of an API (no implicit padding!)
BTW. the patch subject is a little wrong, should have been
[PATCH net]
But I think Tony can take care of that when sending to netdev list,
unless you want to send a v2.
