When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftest

...clang warns about "taking address of packed member 'write_index' ".
This is not particularly helpful, because the test code really wants to
write to exactly this location, and if it ends up being unaligned, then
the test won't work (and may segfault, depending on the CPU type).

If that ever comes up, it will be obvious and can be fixed. But all it's
doing now is prevent a clean clang build, so disable the warning.
