There seem to be some recurring vague concerns about the alignment of
coreboot table entries. While the existing implementation has been
producing tables with a well-defined alignment (4 bytes) for a long
time, the code doesn't always make it very clear. This patch adds an
explicit constant to codify that alignment, assertions to check it after
each entry, and adds explicit padding to the few entry structures that
were relying on compiler padding to return a correct sizeof() value.
