On 64-bit systems, writing/reading one u64 is faster than two u32s even when they're are adjacent in a struct. The compilers won't guarantee they will combine those; I observed both successful and unsuccessful attempts with both GCC and Clang, and it's not easy to say what it depends on. There's a few places in libeth_xdp winning up to several percent from combined access (both performance and object code size, especially when unrolling). Add __LIBETH_WORD_ACCESS and use it there on LE. Drivers are free to optimize HW-specific callbacks under the same definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
