Yeah, I made the same observation, but am not fluent enough in the black magic of Linux header files to know if packing was being enforced somewhere else or in some other way that my little brain can't comprehend.
Note that this was standard <netinet/ip.h>, i. e. no Linux kernel header file, but a standard user land header. Any application code using network functions would break if this was a real problem.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
