    block/qcow: Don't take address of fields in packed structs · a5fdff18
    Peter Maydell authored
    
    
    Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
    it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
    thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer
    versions of clang warn about this. Avoid the bug by not using the
    "modify in place" byte swapping functions.
    
    There are a few places where the in-place swap function is
    used on something other than a packed struct field; we convert
    those anyway, for consistency.
