This patch addresses a kernel unaligned access bug seen on a sparc64 system
with an igb adapter.  Specifically the __skb_flow_get_ports was returning a
be32 pointer which was then having the value directly returned.

In order to keep the handling of the ports consistent with how we were
handling the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses I have instead replaced the assignment
with a memcpy to the flow key ports value.  This way it should stay a
memcpy on systems that cannot handle unaligned access, and will likely be
converted to a 32b assignment on the systems that can support it.

I believe you also need to take care of calls to ipv6_addr_hash()

The IPv4 part also needs something in iph_to_flow_copy_addrs(),
otherwise compiler might assume  &iph->saddr is word aligned.

Right, I still get the unaligned accesses even with this patch:
