Why is this exported to user space?

The __packed attribute is redundant here as all members
are just one byte anyway.

Here the __packed attribute is probably harmful, it prevents you
from accessing the members using 32-bit sized accesses and forces
bytewise accesses on some architectures, which tends to do the
wrong thing on MMIO.
