Disable gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end so that tests and libraries
can create overlays of variable sized arrays at the end of structs when
using a fixed number of entries, e.g. to get/set a single MSR.

It's possible to fudge around the warning, e.g. by defining a custom
struct that hardcodes the number of entries, but that is a burden for
both developers and readers of the code.
