Alignment on x86 of u64 is different from x86_64 and ia64, so we must be extremely careful else we will have to translate these structures going in and out of compat processes, which is beyond painful. So we should ensure the structure layout and alignment is identical on all systems, 32-bit or 64-bit, in order to avoid these problems. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
