This\noverlays the trailing members (rss_hash_key_data) onto the FAM\n(hash_key_data) while keeping the FAM and the start of MEMBERS aligned.\nThe static_assert() ensures this alignment remains.\n\nNotice that due to tail padding in flexible `struct\nvirtio_net_rss_config_trailer`, `rss_trailer.hash_key_data`\n(at offset 83 in struct virtnet_info) and `rss_hash_key_data` (at\noffset 84 in struct virtnet_info) are misaligned by one byte. See\nbelow:\n\nstruct virtio_net_rss_config_trailer {\n        __le16                     max_tx_vq;            /*     0     2 */\n        __u8                       hash_key_length;      /*     2     1 */\n        __u8                       hash_key_data[];      /*     3     0 */\n\n        /* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */\n        /* padding: 1 */\n        /* last cacheline: 4 bytes */\n};\n\nstruct virtnet_info {\n...\n        struct virtio_net_rss_config_trailer rss_trailer; /*    80     4 */\n\n        /* XXX last struct has 1 byte of padding */\n\n        u8                         rss_hash_key_data[40]; /*    84    40 */\n...\n        /* size: 832, cachelines: 13, members: 48 */\n        /* sum members: 801, holes: 8, sum holes: 31 */\n        /* paddings: 2, sum paddings: 5 */\n};\n\nAfter changes, those members are correctly aligned at offset 795:\n\nstruct virtnet_info {\n...\n        union {\n                struct virtio_net_rss_config_trailer rss_trailer; /*   792     4 */\n                struct {\n                        unsigned char __offset_to_hash_key_data[3]; /*   792     3 */\n                        u8         rss_hash_key_data[40]; /*   795    40 */\n                };                                       /*   792    43 */\n        };                                               /*   792    44 */\n...\n        /* size: 840, cachelines: 14, members: 47 */\n        /* sum members: 801, holes: 8, sum holes: 35 */\n        /* padding: 4 */\n        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */\n        /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */\n};\n\nAs a result, the RSS key passed to the device is shifted by 1\nbyte: the last byte is cut off, and instead a (possibly\nuninitialized) byte is added at the beginning.\n\nAs a last note `struct virtio_net_rss_config_hdr *rss_hdr;` is also\nmoved to the end, since it seems those three members should stick\naround together.
