I think it's horrible.

Almost everyone reading this will understand C.  And they can cut and
paste the code from the spec into their implementation, which helps
everyone.

We'll just have to live with the lack of padding, and let's try not to
add any more packed-requiring structures.  If we deprecate
virtio-balloon, the rest will be contained in CCW.

Cheers,
Rusty.
