After seeing some interoperability issues with ADISC, it was determined the ELS definitions in lpfc were using types that allowed the compiler to add pad to the structure, causing the structure to no longer be per spec. The offending structures are ADISC, FAN, and RNID. This patch implements the simple fix of eliminating the pad by forcing the compiler to pack the structure. Care was taken to ensure field accesses won't be by operations that would hit a bad field alignment. The better solution would be to convert to the uapi fc header definitions, but the number of changes required to do is rather intrusive so this course of action was deferred.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
