Just for curiosity, could you both benchmark this also:

int is_zero_ether_addr0(const unsigned char *addr)
{
return !(((unsigned long *)addr)[0] | ((unsigned short*)addr)[2]);
}


This is probably safer (wrt 64 bits systems):

int is_zero_ether_addr0(const unsigned char *addr)
{
return !(((u32*)addr)[0] | ((u16*)addr)[2]);
}
