Sure, but I still wonder whether this should be u32 or u16 (or even u8)
as UEFI spec doesn't clearly define this.

I have one concern here;
This structure will also be used as a data format/layout in a file,
a package list, given the fact that UEFI defines ExportPackageLists().
So extra six bytes after layout_length, for example, may not be very
useful in general.
I'm not very much sure if UEFI spec intends so.

To be honest, I don't know. I just copied these lines from
the original patch from Leif & Rob.
My guess here is that such data structures are also used as data
formats/layouts as part of a package list in a *file* and that no paddings
are necessary. Same as I explained above.

# Same comments to yours below.

I hope that Leif will confirm (or deny) it.
