Admittedly this is something that the compiler should be able to just do
for us, but gcc just isn't that smart. And trying to use a structure
initializer (which would get us the right semantics) ends up resulting
in gcc allocating stack space for _two_ 'struct stat', and then copying
one into the other.
So do it by hand - just have a per-architecture macro that initializes
the padding fields. And if the architecture doesn't provide one, fall
back to the old behavior of just doing the whole memset() first.
