Better pad than rely on both sides using the same compiler logic.

Ack. But shouldn't we then, in turn, use __attribute__((unpacked)) to
avoid that the compiler accidentally does some other unintended
alignment / reordering?

Do you mean "packed"? It shouldn't be needed at this stage, but it
shouldn't harm as well.

BTW: It's really hard to trace how the structures are being defined.

Instead of creating the structure in arch-specific parts for each
architecture, I think it would be nicer to introduce the structure for
all architectures, and then include arch-specific parts.

...as anonymous sub-structs - possibly.

Not that easy: The anonymous struct thing does not work, and the doxygen
documentation would have to be refactored as well.

Ack, just realised that as well.

Have a look at the attachment. If you agree on this idea, I'll make a
proper patch out of it.

Not truly convinced as this pulls arch-specific stuff into the generic
header while we have asm headers in the loop. To avoid that, either use
non-anonymous arch structs or defines again (I was considering the latter).

And doxygen is missing the struct at the right place now.
