   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple
   4  of 4
   5
   6 This ensures that mac80211 allocated management frames are properly
   7 aligned, which makes copying them more efficient.
   8 For instance, mt76 uses iowrite32_copy to copy beacon frames to beacon
   9 template memory on the chip.
  10 Misaligned 32-bit accesses cause CPU exceptions on MIPS and should be
  11 avoided.
