efi: Align 'efi_guid_t' to 64 bits The UEFI Specification Version 2.7 Errata A defines: "EFI_GUID 128-bit buffer containing a unique identifier value. Unless otherwise specified, aligned on a 64-bit boundary." Before this patch efi_guid_t was only 8-bit aligned. Note that this could potentially trigger alignment faults during EFI runtime services calls on 32-bit ARM, given that it does not permit load/store double or load/store multiple instructions to operate on memory addresses that are not 32-bit aligned.
