 queue context data

Always just ignore the tool when it if it's not useful.

CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_ macros are just build time asserts, right?  I can easily
just hard code Smatch to ignore CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_* macros.  I'm just going to
go ahead an do that in the ugliest way possible.  If we have a lot of these then
I'll do it properly.
