That is done to make sure the size of the structure in memory is not
architecture dependent. This was recommended in one of the previous
version of this patch.

I could do that but then in 32bit case, you would want one more space
right after cap-id since it is 32 bit on 32 bit platform. If it helps, I
can have two lay out one for 32bit and one for 64 bit.

Cap-id is QCOM specific ABI parameter not HVC.
