I have no idea. Maybe this arch has some unusual alignments on
u64/u32/u16 fields ?

The patch should not have changed tcp_sock_write_rx group...

My patch reduced tcp_sock_write_tx on x86_64 from 113 to 105 bytes but
I did not bother changing the assert,
because the assertion triggers if the size of the group is bigger than
the numerical value.

So I could have added the following, but really did not bother.
