In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring array fields.

Use the ether_addr_copy() helper instead, as already done for smac.

I don't understand the last three lines. We are copying 6 bytes to
ah->av.eth.mac and immediately after that overwriting them.
I'm not following (the memcpy() is replaced by ether_addr_copy()).
Forget it, it was me who mixed src with dst in the memcpy() signature.

Thanks,
