The __packed attribute introduces potential unaligned memory accesses and endianness portability issues. Instead of relying on compiler-specific packing, it's much better to explicitly fill structure gaps using padding fields, ensuring natural alignment. Since all previously __packed structures already enforce proper alignment through manual padding, the __packed qualifiers are unnecessary and can be safely removed.
