Are you sure this padding field is needed? What goes wrong if this is dropped?

This doesn't look right: this should be 7 if you want to align at 64 bits. Don't
forget to update the documentation when you change this. In fact, the documentation
doesn't mention the size of the array, it just says 'u8 padding'.

I thought pahole flags something like this?

sizeof(lf) is an odd-number of bytes, so...

... even though sizeof(quant) == 8 with the padding bytes, that would still not
align at 64 bits.
