Enforcing certain data structure explicit paddings.

Implicit paddings have undefined values in C. We want the eattr blocks
to be comparable by memcmp and eattrs settable directly by structrure
literals. This check ensures that all paddings in eattr and bval are
explicit and therefore zeroed in all literals.
