No. You don't *need* explicit padding at the end of a reply, although it
doesn't hurt.

The explicit trailing padding is more needed inside <struct>. At one
point, someone turned on -Wpadded and silenced all the warnings, even
the harmless ones, which is (I believe) where most of the reply padding
came from.

(In this particular case, -Wpadded might not even complain, since the
whole reply structure will be an integer multiple of 32 bits)
