IMO, The right place to put a conditional memmove is at the 802.11 to
802.3 conversion. currnetly iwlwifi always hands an aligned 802.11
frame to mac80211. If it is needed to re-align the frame after
stripping the odd 802.11 header to support CPUs that can't handle it,
it makes sense to do it there.
