Good idea, we didn't have it yet. So this is an additional change.
I'll work on it. Though, if this should delay more this series, I
think we should drop it.

Isn't it preferable to make that explicit? Fwiw, qemu also declares
the struct packed in its headers.

Could you explain? thanks

Peter said in his patch: "fw_cfg device does not need IOMMU
protection, so use physical addresses
always. That's how QEMU implements fw_cfg. Otherwise we'll see call
traces during boot."

Is that enough justification?

ok (I used the same naming as fw_cfg_read_blob() for consistency)
