netfilter: ebtables: fix alignment problem in ppc
ebt_among extension of ebtables uses __alignof__(_xt_align) while the corresponding kernel module uses __alignof__(ebt_replace) to determine the alignment in EBT_ALIGN(). These are the results of these values on different platforms: x86 x86_64 ppc __alignof__(_xt_align) 4 8 8 __alignof__(ebt_replace) 4 8 4 ebtables fails to add rules which use the among extension. I'm using kernel 2.6.33 and ebtables 2.0.10-4 According to Bart De Schuymer, userspace alignment was changed to _xt_align to fix an alignment issue on a userspace32-kernel64 system (he thinks it was for an ARM device). So userspace must be right. The kernel alignment macro needs to change so it also uses _xt_align instead of ebt_replace. The userspace changes date back from June 29, 2009.
