ETHER_ADDR_EQUAL_64B(9)	    Network device support     ETHER_ADDR_EQUAL_64B(9)

NAME
       ether_addr_equal_64bits - Compare two Ethernet addresses

SYNOPSIS
       bool ether_addr_equal_64bits(const u8 addr1[6+2], const u8 addr2[6+2]);

ARGUMENTS
       addr1[6+2]
	   Pointer to an array of 8 bytes

       addr2[6+2]
	   Pointer to an other array of 8 bytes

DESCRIPTION
       Compare two ethernet addresses, returns true if equal, false otherwise.

       The function doesn´t need any conditional branches and possibly uses
       word memory accesses on CPU allowing cheap unaligned memory reads.
       arrays = { byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4, byte6, byte7, pad1, pad2}

       Please note that alignment of addr1 & addr2 is only guaranted to be 16
       bits.
