Thomas Weißschuh c47233bb43 virt: vbox: uapi: Mark inner unions in packed structs as packed 
[ Upstream commit c25d01e1c4 ]

The unpacked unions within a packed struct generates alignment warnings
on clang for 32-bit ARM:

./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:239:4: error: field u within 'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter32'
  is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:223:2)'
  and is usually due to 'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter32' being packed,
  which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
     239 |         } u;
         |           ^

./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:254:6: error: field u within
  'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter64::(anonymous union)::(unnamed at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:249:3)'
  is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:251:4)' and is usually due to
  'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter64::(anonymous union)::(unnamed at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:249:3)'
  being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]

With the recent changes to compile-test the UAPI headers in more cases,
these warning in combination with CONFIG_WERROR breaks the build.

Fix the warnings.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
