I will send a separate patch once this is merged.

I'm not sure why I would want to do that? The structures do not have any
padding to start with, and the layout of the image format implies that
they will be naturally aligned (and in fact the boot ROM assumes this).
Marking them as packed would only cause GCC to generate less efficient code.

Yes, eventually. I didn't want to delay the rest of the code for it,
since it is not needed to build U-Boot.
