Subject: datapath: Add __aligned_u64 compat support for user and kernel headers.
X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0~764
X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3fd8e510dc0a5184be2ec4b909b172ff7b7043cf;p=sliver-openvswitch.git

datapath: Add __aligned_u64 compat support for user and kernel headers.

__aligned_u64 is a 64-bit integer type that is guaranteed to be aligned on
a 64-bit boundary.  It is used in ABI structures to allow them to be shared
between 32- and 64-bit userspace without the need for kernel compat code.
The first use in OVS is coming up in this series of patches.
