How something like this, instead:

 struct sockaddr_alg {
-	__u16	salg_family;
-	__u8	salg_type[14];
-	__u32	salg_feat;
-	__u32	salg_mask;
-	__u8	salg_name[64];
+	union {
+		struct {
+			__u16	salg_v1_family;
+			__u8	salg_v1_type[14];
+			__u32	salg_v1_feat;
+			__u32	salg_v1_mask;
+			__u8	salg_name[64];
+		};
+		struct {
+			__u16	salg_family;
+			__u8	salg_type[14];
+			__u32	salg_feat;
+			__u32	salg_mask;
+			__u8	salg_name_new[];
+		};
+	};
 };
