the fact that the size can change based on board configs makes it already a 
pretty unreliable ABI ...

at any rate, is there a define that can be keyed off of ?  CONFIG_HAS_FDT or 
some such junk ?  then the behavior can be changed to like:
#ifndef CONFIG_HAS_FDT
	/* ABI compat junk */
	uchar bi_padding_was_enetaddr[6];
#endif
