On m68k, integers are aligned on addresses that are multiples of two,
not four, bytes.  Hence the size of a structure containing integers may
not be divisible by 4.

Fix this by adding explicit padding.

Thanks Geert, I checked and x86_64 adds this padding anyway, so doesn't
result in any functional changes AFAICS. In any case, this is more
correct for a structure that is part of an API (no implicit padding!)

BTW. the patch subject is a little wrong, should have been
[PATCH net]

But I think Tony can take care of that when sending to netdev list,
unless you want to send a v2.
