In the arm random config file, kconfig option 'CONFIG_AEABI' is
disabled which results in adding the compiler flag '-mabi=apcs-gnu'.
This causes the compiler to add padding in virtchnl2_ptype
structure to align it to 8 bytes, resulting in the following
size check failure:

include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "(6) == sizeof(struct virtchnl2_ptype)"
      78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)
         |                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      26 |         static_assert((n) == sizeof(struct X))
         |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

     982 | VIRTCHNL2_CHECK_STRUCT_LEN(6, virtchnl2_ptype);
         | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Avoid the compiler padding by using "__packed" structure
attribute for the virtchnl2_ptype struct. Also align the
structure by using "__aligned(2)" for better code optimization.
