Well I set it as packed since it's 'sent' through a memory mapped firmware
interface. Hence the need for the structure format to be fixed. So I guessed
we're safer with it, as I'm not 100% sure what the different compilers are
going to do with it (although it's very likely it'll stay the same). BTW this
will be built both for arm & arm64.

Regards,
Nicolas
