    netfilter: arp_tables: unfold two critical loops in arp_packet_match()
    
    x86 and powerpc can perform long word accesses in an efficient maner.
    We can use this to unroll two loops in arp_packet_match(), to
    perform arithmetic on long words instead of bytes. This is a win
    on x86_64 for example.

I think we can at least give some help for the platforms which
require alignment.

We can, for example, assume 16-bit alignment and thus loop
over u16's
