Hi Tom,

I also do not see a pragma pack, usually this is set of 1 so the compiler does 
not shuffle elements, increase size etc.
This data structure is shared with other tools. And the structure is well 
defined with reasonable alignment. It is compatible with all compilers we have 
tested. So pragma pack is not necessary.
You can not have possibly tested all the configurations since the kernel 
supports many arches and compilers.

If the tested existing alignment is ok, pragma pack should be a noop on your 
tested configurations.

And help cover the untested configurations.
Got it. I will add pragma pack(1).
