Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] slight optimization of addr compare for some
 modules

Joe Perches add ether_addr_equal_unaligned to test if
possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses
the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal,
otherwise this uses memcmp.

So I replace memcmp with ether_addr_equal_unaligned in some place
for slight optimization.

Regards.
Ding
