Log:
 Some types of addresses are data structures; make the address data
 pointer in an address structure a "void *", to indicate that it can
 point to some arbitrary type of object, rather than a "guint8 *", which
 indicates that it points to an array of bytes.
 
 For any address type where the address is a structure, this removes some
 alignment warnings; the author of the code to handle a particular
 address type has the responsibility of making sure you don't set up the
 address structure with misaligned data.  (Yes, it matters, at least on
 SPARC.)
