[ strip excellent explanation of the problem ]
Yes, implicit padding is definitely bad. I didn't realize I even had
it in there, although I'm glad my STATIC_ASSERT did its job. There are
various references to patches, however I haven't seen any. Perhaps
they're lost in my inbox, or they were never sent to mesa-dev, or
something else. Could the patch author (or another interested party)
send it as a proper patch to mesa-dev? Assuming it doesn't break x86,
happy to check it in.
Cheers,
