In examining the type mentioned above, I see that it is defined as 6 bytes (actually 5 but I assume it aligns on a 2-byte boundary). So, the question is: how is the compiler (or linker) seeing the structure as having 8 byte entries?
I'm investigating where it might be forcing word alignment, however I'd really appreciate help from those with more experience the kernel code and build settings.
