I guess it depends on who you want to be compatible with.
I decided to be compatible with Digital UNIX and ULTRIX (which
also have fddi_ph).

Without the fix, tcpdump and other bpf utilities would need to be
changed to be able to deal unaligned FDDI packet data.  It was easier
to fix the fddi header than all the utilities.
