Subject: [RFC PATCH] ipsec: fix IPv4 AH alignment on 32 bits

Hi,

here is a patch to fix alignment of IPv4 AH. Note that this break compatiblity 
for some algorithms (like SHA256) with old kernels ... but upstream cannot use 
SHA256 on IPv4, for example, with a target that is RFC compliant.

I don't know what is the best way to fix this.

Regards,
Nicolas
