Note that some programs could fail to compile with the added union
anyway.

Some gcc versions are unable to compile a static init with an union

struct inet_diag_req_v2 foo = { .pad = 0, sdiag_family = AF_INET, };

When I cooked my recent fq commit I simply removed a pad and replaced
it :

git show fefa569a9d4bc4 -- include

Oh, crap :( I've been looking into uapi headers, found that we
use anonymous unions (for example include/uapi/linux/bcache.h)
and thought it will be safe (and my test builds didn't fail).
Are you happen to know which gcc versions cant do that?
