The Xen domctl ABI currently relies on the union containing a field with alignment of 8.
32bit projects which only copy the used subset of functionality end up with an ABI breakage if they don't have at least one uint64_aligned_t field copied. Insert explicit padding, and some build assertions to ensure it never changes moving forwards.
