make __packed memory access default for gcc

It's always as good or better then memcpy()
but depends on gcc-specific extension.

  * Method 1 : `__packed` statement. It depends on compiler extension (ie, not portable).
  *            This method is safe if your compiler supports it, and *generally* as fast or faster than `memcpy`.
  * Method 2 : direct access. This method is portable but violate C standard.
- *            It can generate buggy code on targets which generate assembly depending on alignment.

  *            But in some circumstances, it's the only known way to get the most performance (ie GCC + ARMv6)
