It does - doing so removes the need for padding before 'next_rule',
because it is properly aligned then. 'timestamp' and 'cmd' are both 4
bytes in size and immediately follow each other, so the total
structure size is a multiple of 8 (48 bytes). Because of that, no
padding after 'cmd' is required, and the effect is gone.
