5814c08467937154745c6cb2b3400800b98ff897 hw/net/virtio-net.c: Don't assume IP length field is aligned
In virtio-net.c we assume that the IP length field in the packet is
aligned, and we copy its address into a uint16_t* in the
VirtioNetRscUnit struct which we then dereference later. This isn't
a safe assumption; it will also result in compilation failures if we
mark the ip_header struct as QEMU_PACKED because the compiler will
not let you take the address of an unaligned struct field.
Make the ip_plen field in VirtioNetRscUnit a void*, and make all the
places where we read or write through that pointer instead use some
new accessor functions read_unit_ip_len() and write_unit_ip_len()
which account for the pointer being potentially unaligned and also do
the network-byte-order conversion we were previously using htons() to
perform.
