[PATCH 2.6.22-rc1] net/core/skbuff.c gcc-3.2.3 compilation error

[Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se>]

[Resend. First message reached netdev but not linux-kernel due to Cc: typo]

Compiling 2.6.22-rc1 with gcc-3.2.3 for i486 fails with:

The patch below implements a simple workaround which is to
clone the offending memcpy() call and specialise it for the
two different scenarios.

Other workarounds are of course possible: e.g. bind the varying
parameter in a local variable, or use a macro or inline function
to perform the varying computation.
