Subject: [PATCH] bonding,llc: Fix structure sizeof incompatibility for some PDUs

With some combinations of arch/compiler the sizeof operator on structure 
returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for 
mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (e.g. holes and 
alignment problems in skb data). Attribute "packed" prevents this undesired 
behavior.
