This patch fixes an unaligned memory access in tcp_sack while reading
sequence numbers from TCP selective acknowledgement options.  Prior to
applying this patch, upstream linux-2.6.27.20 was occasionally
generating messages like this on my sparc64 system:

  [54678.532071] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[6b17d4] tcp_packet+0xcd4/0xd00

More details provided upon request.  Apologies in advance if I've sent
this to the wrong place or not followed proper procedures.

Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Looks good to me. Dave, please apply directly or pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nf-2.6.git

Thanks!
