DIAG 320 subcode 1 provides information needed to determine
the amount of storage to store one or more certificates from the
certificate store.

Upon successful completion, this subcode returns information of the current
cert store, such as the number of certificates stored and allowed in the cert
store, amount of space may need to be allocate to store a certificate,
etc for verification-certificate blocks (VCBs).

The subcode value is denoted by setting the left-most bit
of an 8-byte field.

The verification-certificate-storage-size block (VCSSB) contains
the output data when the operation completes successfully. A VCSSB
length of 4 indicates that no certificate are available in the cert
store.

Should this be a packed structure? The Linux kernel defines it as packed https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17-rc3/source/arch/s390/kernel/ cert_store.c#L81

Packed structs should be avoided in user space code that might get compiled on different host architectures, we've hit related problems a couple of times in the past already (doing a quick search, I came up with https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel//2017-03/msg05316.html for example, but I remember we had similar problems in the s390x code once, too).

In this struct here, all fields are naturally aligned, so the packed should not be necessary. Just add a size check with QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure that there is really no unexpected padding here.
