Add padding to make the structure variables in MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST_ENTRY
64-bit aligned.
Also, add reserved fields to MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST for future firmware usage.

Ho-hum.

Move fields in a structure used for communication with the HBA?
How is that supposed to work?
Do we need a firmware update for the HBA to handle this correctly?
Or did it never work, and we need the padding to retrieve the information correctly?

Please clarify.

Cheers,

Hannes
