But the point stands, we have much greater problems here than VXLAN.
And I don't think that wrapping all IP address accesses into

Agreed, and I think Tom made that point too. 
For the immediate pain, Hannes' suggestion of making vxlanhdr
__packed takes care of the noise from vxlan_build_skb, so I will
spin out a v2 that takes care of this one, at least.
