    x86: drop unneeded __packed attributes
    
    There where a couple of unneeded packed attributes in several x86-specific
    structures, that are obviously aligned. The only non-trivial one is
    vmcb_struct, which has been checked to have the same layout with and without
    the packed attribute using pahole. In that case add a build-time size check 
to
    be on the safe side.
    
    No functional change is expected as a result of this commit.
