This patch focuses on fixing the following warning generated
by checkpatch.pl for the file rxtx.c

Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses
are __aligned(2)

@@ expression e1, e2; @@

- memcpy(e1, e2, ETH_ALEN);
+ ether_addr_copy(e1, e2);

According to ether_addr_copy() description and functionality,
all Ethernet addresses should align to the u16 datatype.
The changes were applied using the following coccinelle rule:

To avoid deadlock, do not call blocking functions with spinlocks held.

.. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.

Big surprise.

But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?

In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.

Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.

But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.
