But _why_ is it needed ?

nla_put() has no alignment assumptions, it simply copies 8 bytes.

Seems this is going too far.

if this is really needed, then nla_put_u64/be64/etc need to be changed also,
or? The function nla_put_u64 is the same like nla_put_le64 but with __le64
type, so sparse will not complain about that.

Okay, I found PATCH 3/9 do it for be64, but what's about u64?

It's also planned. I will send several "small" series to ease integration.
