[PATCH V2 3/3] Remove VLAIS usage from netfilter

[Behan Webster]

From: Jan-Simon MÃller <dl9pf@xxxxxx>

The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code
precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instance the
Clang compiler). This patch instead calculates offsets into the kmalloc-ed
memory buffer using macros from valign.h.

Patch from series at
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120507/142707.html
by PaX Team.
