The problem is the (__be32 *) casts.  This is a normal pointer to a 32-bit,
which is assumed to be aligned, and the cast overrides the packed attribute
from the struct.  Dereferencing these cast expressions must be done with the
macros from asm/unaligned.h

Again, not going to happen.  DaveM is on record for saying as much, but
I guess you're going to reject that as well, so I'm not sure why I'm
even bothering to reply.

May I suggest to send a recap of this thread to netdev at vger.kernel.org 
and see what davem has to say this time?  Otherwise we are just going in 
circle.
