The current alignment of 1 can lead to a lot of Walign-mismatch warnings in C++. This behavior also doesn't seem to be up to spec, as evidenced by a similar change made in the Linux ARM kernel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/20190108152829.11579-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org/ Signed-off-by: meator <meator.dev@gmail.com>

I have not yet conducted testing, but I intend to test my project (which depends on
libefivar) as well as efibootmgr.All credit for this discovery should go to
