In the same spirit as dump_function, would something like this work?

-    if ($x =~ /(struct|union)\s+(\w+)\s*\{(.*)\}(\s*(__packed|__aligned|____cacheline_aligned_in_smp|____cacheline_aligned|__attribute__\s*\(\([a-z0-9,_\s\(\)]*\)\)))*/) {
+    $x =~ s/__packed +//;
+    $x =~ s/__aligned +//;
+    $x =~ s/____cacheline_aligned_in_smp +//;
+    $x =~ s/____cacheline_aligned +//;
+    $x =~ s/__attribute__\s*\(\([a-z0-9,_\s\(\)]*\)\)//;
+
+    if ($x =~ /(struct|union)\s+(\w+)\s*\{(.*)\}(\s*)*/) {
