I was looking through this header and happened to notice that this
padding is wrong. I believe it should be __pad_after_uframe here.

I'm not sure of the implications of this typo, but I suspect it
breaks something on 32-bit systems with 64-bit time (regardless of
the endianness, since it changes the offset of avail_min).
