[ZJ] Depending on how to pack, the size was padded is variance. For
example.
In case of the "unsigned char" at the following, pack is happened
and result 1 bytes.(if no more than 8 bits are used)
In case of the "int" at the following, pack is happened but result
4 bytes.
I mean, I demo it but use the 1# case due for another thread
discussion on the ichx_desc() so move a little bit from the tick_sched
struct.
