If you want the ones for net-next net/ now (but not for batman-adv, that maybe could use a new function like ether_addr_copy_unaligned) here's a changestat. Otherwise, I'll wait for the next cycle.This looks fine, why don't you toss it my way over the weekend as I still have some backlog to process at the moment?
I didn't get that done this weekend, so next cycle for most of net/. I don't want to introduce any breakage this late and there are possible unaligned memcpy(foo, bar, ETH_ALEN) where one or both of foo/bar are stack pointers where the alignment is hard to verify. There are also statics declared without __aligned(2) that will need updating. Maybe ether_addr_copy_unaligned should be added too. Here are the ones I could easily verify... No worries if it's this cycle or next.
