Hi John,

When building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftest...clang warns about "taking address of packed member 'write_index' ". This is not particularly helpful, because the test code really wants to write to exactly this location, and if it ends up being unaligned, then the test won't work (and may segfault, depending on the CPU type).
If that ever comes up, it will be obvious and can be fixed. But all it's doing now is prevent a clean clang build, so disable the warning.

Perhaps it would be better if this were
ifeq ($(CC),clang)
as that would catch both CC=clang and LLVM=1 users? I haven't tested this though.
Additionally, I think it would be good to mention that -Wno-address-of-packed-member is GCC's default, whereas Clang enables -Waddress-of-packed-member by default.
- CFLAGS += -Wno-address-of-packed-member
