NIC drivers generally try to ensure that the "network header" is aligned
to a 4-byte boundary. This is not always possible: When Ethernet frames are
encapsulated in other packets with 4-byte aligned headers, the inner
Ethernet header will have 4-byte alignment, and in consequence, the inner
network header is aligned to 2, but not to 4 bytes.

Most parts of batman-adv only care about 2-byte alignment; in particular,
no unaligned accesses occur in performance-critical paths that handle
actual payload data. This is not true for OGM handling: the seqno and crc
fields are accessed as 32-bit values. To avoid these unaligned accesses,
this patch reduces the expected packet alignment to 2 bytes for all of
batadv's packet types.

As no unaligned accesses existed on the performance-critical paths anyways,
this chance does have any (positive or negative) effect on performance, but
it still makes sense to avoid these accesses to prevent log noise when
examining other unaligned accesses in the kernel while batman-adv is
active.
