Well, the problem is that struct grub_xfs_btree_node is defined with
GRUB_PACKED - forcing a 1-byte alignment requirement as opposed to the
8-byte requirement that would naturally be enforced by the struct
contents. And apparently clang objects to this, whereas gcc thinks
everything is fine ... even though -Wcast-align is explicitly used.

Now, grub_xfs_btree_keys() is only called by grub_xfs_read_block(),
where it is immediately stuffed back into another 8-byte aligned
pointer. And then the alignment is immediately discarded again by
casting it to a (char *) for an arithmetic operation.

If the alignment is indeed not required, it may be worth explicitly
marking that pointer as one to a potentially unaligned location.
But we don't currently appear to have a GRUB_UNALIGNED macro, to match
the GRUB_PACKED for structs. Should we?

If so, something like the following could be added to your patch for a
more complete fix:

The below was more of an RFC than something committable - are you OK
with me splitting the types.h changes out as a separate patch?

Yeah, you're right - it should actually have been (packed) again.

Anyway, you already contributed a fix.
