[PATCH 3/7] x86, LLVM: suppress clang warnings about unaligned accesses

From: Michael Davidson
Date: Thu Mar 16 2017 - 20:24:31 EST


Suppress clang warnings about potential unaliged accesses
to members in packed structs. This gets rid of almost 10,000
warnings about accesses to the ring 0 stack pointer in the TSS.
