Subject: [patch] rename members in dummy _xt_align struct

i'd like to rename the members in the _xt_align struct in 
netfilter/x_tables.h ... by not using 'u8', 'u16', etc..., it's possible to 
filter headers meant for userspace through the preprocessor and pull out 
people who accidentally utilize these internal types ... however, by using 
struct members who have the same name as 'u8', 'u16', etc..., this throws up 
a false positive

of all the exported headers, this is the only one to do this sort of thing, so 
i hope you guys wont mind making the change :)
