RE: [IPoIB] Identify multicast packets and fix IGMP breakage V3

Were you going to try it this way?

     /* First byte of dgid signals multicast/broadcast when 0xff */
     if ((wc->wc_flags & IB_WC_GRH) &&
         ((struct ib_grh *)skb->data)->dgid.raw[0] == 0xff) {
	     if (memcmp(((struct ib_grh *)skb->data)->dgid.raw,
                        dev->broadcast + 4, sizeof(union ib_gid)) ==
0)
                     skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
             else
                     skb->pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST;
     }
     else
             skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;

I think doing the memcmp only in the multicast path should be
reasonable overhead wise.
Shouldn't struct ib_grh be packed to make this really work?
The code looks a little messy to me anyway... 
How about using a local var which is a ptr to packed struct ib_grh? The
compiler will probably eliminate it anyway.
