As long as it doesn't penalise Ethernet (e.g., the 10Gb crowd :) it would

Uhm, most cards affected *ARE* Ethernet cards, due to the bloody 14-byte

But it doesn't affect architectures which have alignment, and the cost
of scanning a properly-aligned packet is minimal.
I'll try to find it some time today.
