I thought about taking this, but I also looked over the code and it
looks correct to me.  This is a semi-hot path in the connection bring
up code, so I'm loathe to put in sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) * 2 of
needless memory writes.  So, I dropped this patch.  Hopefully, ppc64
compiler will straighten its warnings out soon.
