Practically I'm sure you're right and maybe we should stick a (void *)
cast in between the casts or disable the warning.  Formally that
memcpy is an implementation detail and could be true in one kernel
version and false in the next version, so when you pass a struct
sockaddr * to a function it should, in theory be aligned as such.
