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.

Further proof that C isn't an appropriate way to desribe an ABI...
