[PATCH 1/1] efi: efi_guid_t must be 64-bit aligned

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Sat Dec 15 2018 - 16:18:30 EST


The UEFI Specification Version 2.7 Errata A defines:

"EFI_GUID
128-bit buffer containing a unique identifier value.
Unless otherwise specified, aligned on a 64-bit boundary."

Before this patch efi_guid_t was 8-bit aligned.
