+ * isn't aligned to 4
+ *
+ * Removing the alignment from efi_guid_t is not an option, since
+ * it is also used in non-packed structs and that would break
+ * calculations with offsetof
+ *
+ * This is the only place we get a report for. That happens because
+ * all other declarations of efi_guid_t within a packed struct happens
+ * to be 4-byte aligned. i.e a u32, a u64 a 2 * u16 or any combination
+ * that ends up landing efi_guid_t on a 4byte boundary precedes.
+ *
+ * Replace this with a 1-byte aligned counterpart of b[16]. This is a
+ * packed struct so the memory placement of efi_guid_t should not change
