Hi Ira,

I tested this out. Just one correction below to make it work.

__packed attribute just for cper_cxl_event_rec still fails to properly 
align structure elements. Looks like, __packed attribute is needed for 
all structs (cper_cxl_event_devid and cper_cxl_event_sn) inside 
cper_cxl_event_rec.

Seems easier to use global pragma instead.. I could test and obtain the 
output as expected using pragma..

Thanks,
Smita
