alignment-sensitive architectures like sparc64 continue choke on it.

What we would need is, IMO,
new_size = old_size + EBT_ALIGN(ebt_mac_wormhash_size(wh);
h = malloc(new_size);
but this of course breaks the binary interface between userspace and
kernel. Possible solutions I can think of:
(a) kill ebt_among
(b) willingly change it and break ABI
(c) continue planned transformation to Xtables and fix later
Which should it be?
How about:
(d) add compat support to ebtables, transform to xtables,
add compat translation
Compat support is needed anyway to properly run in a mixed
environment since most of the setsockopt argument structs
are not clean either.
