So it's fine as is, but a pad might be better...

sys/arm/arm/exec_machdep.c
113	Or we could add a a 'mcv_pad' int32_t field and just set that... It's the only bytes that need to be set and setting the other 32*8+4 (260 bytes)....

sys/arm/arm/exec_machdep.c
113	We should put a pad field in as the compiler could still leak kernel stack data via the padding.

sys/arm/arm/exec_machdep.c
113	Modern compilers are smart enough given that memcpy and memset are builtins to only memset the bits that aren't overwritten by the memcpy. I'm not sure of the value of making the padding field explicit?
