[Qemu-devel] [PULL 15/22] qcow1: Make padding in the header explicit

[Kevin Wolf]

We were relying on all compilers inserting the same padding in the
header struct that is used for the on-disk format. Let's not do that.
Mark the struct as packed and insert an explicit padding field for
compatibility.
