I didn't get that done this weekend, so next cycle
for most of net/.

I don't want to introduce any breakage this late and
there are possible unaligned memcpy(foo, bar, ETH_ALEN)
where one or both of foo/bar are stack pointers where
the alignment is hard to verify.

There are also statics declared without __aligned(2)
that will need updating.

Maybe ether_addr_copy_unaligned should be added too.

Here are the ones I could easily verify...
No worries if it's this cycle or next.

Joe Perches (7):
  8021q: Use ether_addr_copy
  appletalk: Use ether_addr_copy
  atm: Use ether_addr_copy
  caif_usb: Use ether_addr_copy
  netpoll: Use ether_addr_copy
  pktgen: Use ether_addr_copy
  dsa: Use ether_addr_copy
