 The alignment of the (linear) payload data[] to a 64bit boundary
 allows the user to define their own structs and unions to easily access
 the CAN payload. There is no given byteorder on the CAN bus by
 default. A read(2) system call on a CAN_RAW socket transfers a
 struct can_frame to the user space.

 the easy handling of the length information the canfd_frame.len element
