The packed attribute is not necessary here, the structure will be
perfectly packed together because of the types used and the order of
the members.
__packed is to be used only in the last possible resort for
correctness and every effort whatsoever should be used to avoid using
it.

Using packed with an 8 byte alignment is even more unnecessary.
Again, it is not needed, so please don't use it.

Do not mark functions inline in *.c files, let the compiler decide.
