OK.

I'm not sure that EDK2 is very careful about data alignment.
Regarding guid, in MdePkg/Include/Base.h,
	///
	/// 128 bit buffer containing a unique identifier value.
	/// Unless otherwise specified, aligned on a 64 bit boundary.
	///
	typedef struct {
	  UINT32  Data1;
	  UINT16  Data2;
	  UINT16  Data3;
	  UINT8   Data4[8];
	} GUID;
in MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiBaseType.h,
	typedef GUID                      EFI_GUID;

There is no explicit "aligned()" attribute contrary to Heinrich's patch.

Regarding hii_keyboard_layout,
in  Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h,
	typedef struct {
	  UINT16                  LayoutLength;
	  EFI_GUID                Guid;
	  UINT32                  LayoutDescriptorStringOffset;
	  UINT8                   DescriptorCount;
	  // EFI_KEY_DESCRIPTOR    Descriptors[];
	} EFI_HII_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT;

No "packed" attribute, so neither in my code.

I'd like to echo, "Leif?"
