A reserved field could prove useful in the future, and packed structs
can result in inefficiencies due to its impact on alignment.

Without __packed__ do we have strong enough guarantees from the compiler
for a stable ABI?

We rely on this kind of thing for uapi on a regular basis, so I sure hope so.

Rather should extend mrmask just to 32 bits.

I considered that option, but extending mrmask would probably confusing
to userspace, e.g. we'd have to document that bits 31:15 are ignored.

Yeah this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I meant u64.

Not a big deal. With the reserved field we would have to document the
same in different terms.
