    Ok, since you wanted to look at it more... I have a working copy of
    making packets alignment safe for ip in p4 at as change 73150:
    http://perforce.freebsd.org/changeView.cgi?CH=73150&ignore=GO%21

    This currently is only for arm and I plan to now remove the code from
    epe.c that copies the packet around since it's really stupid, and
    considering how easily NetBSD did this (it took about about 5 minutes
    to get this code running), I'm ashamed that I didn't do this a while
    back when I was working on if_re...

    Comments please?

    I'll bring up adding:
    #define __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT
    to i386 and amd64's include/_types.h on -arch shortly.
