Can make the change to remove the _ in the beginning of the macro guards when I 
am adding for CXL 2.0 specification

Yes, all the grouped CXL registers that are listed below are packed to fixed 
offsets, hence I thought it is better to have pack(1) in the beginning and 
pack() in the end to avoid any effect of global compiler settings...
-CXL_1_1_DVSEC_FLEX_BUS_DEVICE,
-CXL_1_1_DVSEC_FLEX_BUS_PORT,
-CXL_1_1_RAS_CAPABILITY_STRUCTURE,
-CXL_1_1_LINK_CAPABILITY_STRUCTURE
Is the preference is to add the packing instruction to each group independently?
