Provided compat_loff_t are correctly defined with __aligned__(4)
marking the structure packed isn't needed.
I believe compat_u64 and compat_s64 both have aligned(4).
It is also wrong, consider:
struct foo {
char x;
struct compat_flock64 fl64;
};
There should be 3 bytes of padding after 'x'.
But you've removed it.
