This attribute is not recognized by clang. An investigation has been performed to ensure this attribute has no effect on layout of structures we use in QEMU [1], so it's safe to remove now.
In the future, we'll forbid introducing new bitfields in packed struct, as they are the one potentially impacted by this change.
