Thanks David !

Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.

[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.
