Maybe Kees will have as suggestion - Kees, are there any best practices
for dealing with such issues? For the reference we do a oversized load
from a structure (read 8B of a 6B array):

struct ethhdr {
	unsigned char	h_dest[6];
	unsigned char	h_source[6];
	__be16		h_proto;
} __attribute__((packed));

But then discard the irrelevant bytes:

#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT...
	u64 fold = (*(const u64 *)addr1) ^ (*(const u64 *)addr2);
#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
	return (fold >> 16) == 0;
#else ...


The structure is uAPI, for added fun.
