Bike shedding: Should we drop "packing"? Note that this covers compatibility with GCC `-mms-bitfields` and structs carrying `__attribute__((ms_struct))`, so naming parallel to `-mms-bitfields` seems good.
I think you could make this warning much more discoverable if you add documentation for it in DiagnosticDocs.td, which will be rendered to https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html , which is highly searchable.
