Very nice fix, indeed. Too bad the patch is line wrapped :)

Broadcom 4400 puts a header of configurable size (apparently needs to be at least 28 bytes) in front of received packets. When handling this, the previous code accidentally added the offset 30 *twice* for the software and once for the hardware, thereby cancelling out the IP alignment effect of the 30 byte padding and wasting an additional 30 bytes of memory per packet. This patch fixes this problem and improves routing throughput by about 30% on MIPS, where unaligned access is expensive.
