Thanks Simon. Louis did have same suggestion about this part. But
since we have similar code below:
```
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
	entry->msk.sip6[i] = fs->m_u.tcp_ip6_spec.ip6src[i];
	entry->msk.dip6[i] = fs->m_u.tcp_ip6_spec.ip6dst[i];
	entry->key.sip6[i] = fs->h_u.tcp_ip6_spec.ip6src[i] & entry->msk.sip6[i];
	entry->key.dip6[i] = fs->h_u.tcp_ip6_spec.ip6dst[i] & entry->msk.dip6[i];
}
```
which can not be replaced by `memcpy`, so I decided to leave them as
they are to keep consistency.
So if you don't feel strongly and nobody else objects it, I'll leave it.
