You still haven't demonstrated a failure case. Until proven, this
is absolutely unnecessary.

I actually paid attention to RMK's comments before dismissing his ideas,
and he never said that any real problem existed. All the wrote was that
gcc on ARM makes structs bigger. But there never was any problem with
the field layout.

If it makes you feel better, find places which take sizeof of this
structure and use defined size (which is there in headers specifically
for this reason), like Stern said.

P.S. I saw the David B. advocated using ((packed)) in _all_ structures
which used to "talk to hardware" and I strongly disagree. I did not
reply to his message, because I could not imagine that you would go
ahead with this stupidity.
