Adding __attribute__((__packed__)) or __packed to data structures that
don't need it is not an improvement but is a change that makes
processing slower on architectures that do not support unaligned
accesses. Instead of adding __packed to data structures in their
entirety, only add it to those members that need it and check the
structure size as follows:

static_assert(sizeof(...) == ...);

Thanks,

Bart.
