>> + * PDSM Header:
>> + *
>> + * The header is defined as 'struct nd_pdsm_cmd_pkg' which embeds a
>> + * 'struct nd_cmd_pkg' instance. The PDSM command is assigned to member
>> + * 'nd_cmd_pkg.nd_command'. Apart from size information of the envelope which is
>> + * contained in 'struct nd_cmd_pkg', the header also has members following
>> + * members:
>> + *
>> + * 'cmd_status'		: (Out) Errors if any encountered while servicing PDSM.
>> + * 'payload_version'	: (In/Out) Version number associated with the payload.
>> + * 'payload_offset'	: (In)Relative offset of payload from start of envelope.
>> + *
>> + * PDSM Payload:
>> + *
>> + * The layout of the PDSM Payload is defined by various structs shared between
>> + * papr_scm and libndctl so that contents of payload can be interpreted. During
>> + * servicing of a PDSM the papr_scm module will read input args from the payload
>> + * field by casting its contents to an appropriate struct pointer based on the
>> + * PDSM command. Similarly the output of servicing the PDSM command will be
>> + * copied to the payload field using the same struct.
>> + *
>> + * 'libnvdimm' enforces a hard limit of 256 bytes on the envelope size, which
>> + * leaves around 184 bytes for the envelope payload (ignoring any padding that
>> + * the compiler may silently introduce).
>> + *
>> + * Payload Version:
>> + *
>> + * A 'payload_version' field is present in PDSM header that indicates a specific
>> + * version of the structure present in PDSM Payload for a given PDSM command.
>> + * This provides backward compatibility in case the PDSM Payload structure
>> + * evolves and different structures are supported by 'papr_scm' and 'libndctl'.
>> + *
>> + * When sending a PDSM Payload to 'papr_scm', 'libndctl' should send the version
>> + * of the payload struct it supports via 'payload_version' field. The 'papr_scm'
>> + * module when servicing the PDSM envelope checks the 'payload_version' and then
>> + * uses 'payload struct version' == MIN('payload_version field',
>> + * 'max payload-struct-version supported by papr_scm') to service the PDSM.
>> + * After servicing the PDSM, 'papr_scm' put the negotiated version of payload
>> + * struct in returned 'payload_version' field.
>> + *
>> + * Libndctl on receiving the envelope back from papr_scm again checks the
>> + * 'payload_version' field and based on it use the appropriate version dsm
>> + * struct to parse the results.
>> + *
>> + * Backward Compatibility:
>> + *
>> + * Above scheme of exchanging different versioned PDSM struct between libndctl
>> + * and papr_scm should provide backward compatibility until following two
>> + * assumptions/conditions when defining new PDSM structs hold:
>> + *
>> + * Let T(X) = { set of attributes in PDSM struct 'T' versioned X }
>> + *
>> + * 1. T(X) is a proper subset of T(Y) if X > Y.
>> + *    i.e Each new version of PDSM struct should retain existing struct
>> + *    attributes from previous version
>> + *
>> + * 2. If an entity (libndctl or papr_scm) supports a PDSM struct T(X) then
>> + *    it should also support T(1), T(2)...T(X - 1).
>> + *    i.e When adding support for new version of a PDSM struct, libndctl
>> + *    and papr_scm should retain support of the existing PDSM struct
>> + *    version they support.

Similar reason as before. Userspace libndctl doesnt provide a definition
of __packed hence adding it here.

This helper macro is used in proposed libndctl changes to calculate returning
payload buffer size from the kernel.
