Building with W=1 results in the following warning:

In file included from arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/vas-fault.c:16:

coprocessor_request_block’ is less than 16 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned]

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This happens because coprocessor_request_block includes several
sub-structures with an alignment specified using the __aligned(XX)
attribute. The problem comes from coprocessor_request_block having the
__packed attribute. Packing the structure causes the preferred alignment of
the nested structures to be ignored and we get the warnings as a result.

This isn't a problem in practice since the struct is defined with explicit
padding in the form of reserved fields, but we'd like to get rid of the
spurious warnings. The simplest solution is to remove the packed attribute
and use a BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure the struct is the correct (expected by
HW) size compile time.

Also add a __aligned(128) to the request block structure since Book4 for P8
suggests the HW requires it to be aligned to a 128 byte boundary. There's a
similar requirement for P9 since the COPY and PASTE instructions used to
invoke VAS/NX accelerators operates on a cache line boundary.
