QEMU_PACKED results in a MinGW compiler warning when it is

warning: 'gcc_struct' attribute ignored

Using QEMU_PACKED for the whole structure avoids the compiler warning
without changing the memory layout.

Here I actually see a difference for the uint64_t task_tag field.
Previously it was not packed, now it is packed and because it has 4 *
uint8_t before it there will be a difference in layout.

Looking at how QEMU accesses srp_tsk_mgmt, I think we're safe because we
never actually access task_tag?

Ben: Any thoughts on this patch?

Stefan

4 * uint8_t + 4 bytes from the packed lun, so there is no change
for task_tag, it's always on a 8 byte boundary!

Regards,
Stefan
