And it uses gelf_fsize on the item type to decide how big the consumed
data was. Which doesn't know about any padding. Right?
Yeah, that's it. It takes offset of the last item, adds its size to it,
and assumes that's the whole thing. So padding in the middle is not a
concern, but at the end it is.
'h' is nice for hidden, but would 'p' for padding be
more apt?
Frankly, I like hidden better. You want to hide it, hide it; we don't
care whether it's padding or just uninteresting data.

It looks OK, but I like to get this in together with the actual code
using it (it can still be a separate commit). Just to make sure that it
is actually used.
Understood. I'll move it to the base of my aarch64 tree.
Thanks,
