Naresh,

Could you please remove that static_assert() and dump bpf_bif_lookup
layout from pahole?

Anton unionized { smac, dmac } with __u32 mark. On x86_64, the offset of
smac was 52 (aligned to 4) already, so I don't really get what AEABI
does here. IIRC it aligns every structure to 8 bytes?

Maybe we could just add __attribute__((__packed__))
__attribute__((__aligned__(4))) to that anonymous union at the end.
