Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] eth: Rename and properly align
 br_reserved_address array

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.

We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access.  Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.
