7d85d87f4d5c35 added code to clear the padding bytes with memset
in anticipation that the key could be changed in the future, in a way
that padding will be introduced. So, if we are changing thoughts on
this, we should add additional comments next to
```
+ * NB: We assume that this struct contains no padding.
```
to enforce that the hash stored in objid should be used to
support additional fields, rather than adding a field directly
into the key. Will help future patch reviews/designs.
