In the next few patches, we will depend upon there being no
uninitialised bits inside the ggtt_view. To ensure this we add the
__packed attribute and double check with a build on that gcc hasn't
expanded the struct to include some padding bytes.

Isn't packed theoretically needed on the intel_rotation_plane_info name in the previous patch as well? Otherwise there could be a hole between the array elements if the structure got changed in the future.
