From
Subjectipv6 structure alignment?
Date
I have a version of csum_ipv6_magic optimized for the Alpha,
but in implementing it I would prefer struct in6_addr aligned
on a 64-bit boundary.

Can someone tell me which of the structures in the kernel
headers are seen on the wire (and so would care about a
structure size change due to alignment) and which are just
internal?

I looked through the ones in include/linux, figuring that
the ones in include/net would all be internal, and found
that in6_rtmsg and in6_pktinfo would be affected.

Oh, and there is a typo in the generic csum_ipv6_magic.
