    Thanks David !
    
    Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
    two 32bit load/stores.
    
    [PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store
    
    gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
    memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
    CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
    
    In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
    future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
    break the rule.
