Fix unaligned memory access when reading IPv6 header which

Nak.  Please use a generic unaligned load, rather than an intel specific
one.  Otherwise, supported platforms like arm64 will have broken builds.

Additionally, which chip and compiler did you use to get this error?
I have reproduced this error on Intel Xeon E5-2699 and GCC 7.4 (Ubuntu 
18.04).
