Well it's all just fallout from

	commit 61b89f23f854f458b8e23719978df58260f051ed
	Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@...hat.com>
	Date:   Mon Apr 6 08:42:55 2020 -0400

	    vhost: force spec specified alignment on types

which I didn't know we need until things landed upstream and
people started testing with weird configs.

That forced changes to a header file and the rest followed.

We could just ignore -mabi=apcs-gnu build being broken for this release -
is that preferable? Pls let me know.
