I should point out that this code is functionally identical to the
way the original macros treated the v4 ftype code. You reviewed that
code and tested it and it as such this implicit use of padding was
considered perfectly OK just a couple of months ago.....

Well, I'll add a patch at the end of the series to change it. I
don't want to have to rebase the rest of the patches in the series
just because of the don't apply because of context mismatches.

Besides, the last patch in the series it replaces the offset
functions with precalculated values. That replacement fixes the
offset calculation to explicitly use dir2 hdrs and dir3 entsizes, so
the problem goes away for those entries.

Cheers,

Dave.
