svn commit: r278431 - head/sys/contrib/vchiq/interface/vchiq_arm

[Oleksandr Tymoshenko]

New Revision: 278431
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/278431

Log:
  Do not mark shared structures as __packed, it leads to race condition
  
  If structure packed as __packed clang (and probably gcc) generates
  code that loads word fields (e.g. tx_pos)  byte-by-byte and if it's
  modified by VideoCore in the same time as ARM loads the value result
  is going to be mixed combination of bytes from previous value and
  new one.
