When I ran the checkpatch script against these patches I got a warning that the
preferred directive was to use "__packed".

Well, checkpatch is stupid sometimes.

True.

I suppose checkpatch warning could be improved to
say that it's preferred for "kernel only" files
and should be ignored for public/user cases.
