I would not mark it packed, because it already is well-defined on all
systems. You should add __packed only to the fields where you screwed
up, but not to structures that already work fine.

One thing that should possibly be fixed is the naming of identifiers, e.g.
's/Vmxnet3_MiscConf/vmxnet3_misc_conf/g', unless these header files are
shared with the host implementation.
