OK, good. There are a couple thousand memcpy(foo, bar, ETH_ALEN) in the kernel tree that could be converted. Some will have a small performance improvement for arm and powerpc. 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.
