It seems the kernel is correct and userspace is doing it
wrong, so I think userspace should be fixed instead.
The problem with your patch is that is causes misalignment
for following structures that contain u64 members.

ebt_among is a true mess! It hinders my efforts to port ebtables
to xtables, but I could of course use a hack and will likely
do just that.

Ebtables' dynamic memory allocation scheme is probably not portable to
iptables. I agree the fix is in userspace. Anyway, I think the author of
that module did a great job and provided a very useful and often-used
functionality.

Actually yes, it's kind of a weird mixup of TLV and static blocks :p
