If you want to shave off a couple of instructions, you can switch the 
three 16-bit loads to one 32-bit and one 16-bit load.

Something like:

	const uint8_t *ea1_b = (const uint8_t *)ea1;
	const uint8_t *ea2_b = (const uint8_t *)ea2;
	uint32_t ea1_h;
	uint32_t ea2_h;
	uint16_t ea1_l;
	uint16_t ea2_l;

	memcpy(&ea1_h, &ea1_b[0], sizeof(ea1_h));
	memcpy(&ea1_l, &ea1_b[sizeof(ea1_h)], sizeof(ea1_l));

	memcpy(&ea2_h, &ea2_b[0], sizeof(ea2_h));
	memcpy(&ea2_l, &ea2_b[sizeof(ea2_h)], sizeof(ea2_l));

	return ((ea1_l ^ ea2_l) | (ea1_h ^ ea2_h)) == 0;

Code is not as clean as your solution though.
