Some of the 64bit items in FPDT table may be 32bit aligned. Using __attribute__((packed)) is not needed in this case, fixing it by allowing 32bit alignment for these 64bit items.
1) Can you please add a spec reference for this? I think it's ACPI v6.3, sec 5.2.23.5, or something close to that.
2) The exact layout in memory is prescribed by the spec. I think that's basically what "packed" accomplishes. I don't understand why using "aligned" would be preferable. Using "aligned" means things can be at different offsets depending on the starting address of the structure. We always want the identical layout, no matter what the starting address is.
