When the compiler warns about padding struct to alignment boundary, it
now also informs the user about the size of the alignment that needs to
be added to get rid of the warning.
This removes the need of using pahole or similar tools, or manually
determining the padding size.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
