Unless there is no real need for this structure to be packed i suggest dropping
the attribute. When referenced through pointer 32bit ARM and MIPS (and likely
all other 32bit RISC CPUs) use rather inefficient byte loads and stores.

Worse, if, for example, ->count is going to be read/written concurrently from
multiple threads we get torn loads/stores thus losing atomicity of the access.
