Hm, ok.  Since I'm adopting your idea of using H_PUT_* instead of memcpy
directly, I will put the gap in the extern structure definition.

I believe it is not a problem for other architectures, but if it is then
the solution will be to move the structure definitions back to
host/target-dependent files.
