One-element arrays are being deprecated[1]. Replace the one-element
arrays with a simple value type u8 reserved, once this is just a
placeholder for alignment.

Also, while there, use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct.
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability
and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed as argument is not.
