NAME
       xdr_encode_opaque_fixed - Encode fixed length opaque data

SYNOPSIS
       __be32 * xdr_encode_opaque_fixed(__be32 * p, const void * ptr, unsigned int nbytes);

ARGUMENTS
       p
	   pointer to current position in XDR buffer.

       ptr
	   pointer to data to encode (or NULL)

       nbytes
	   size of data.

DESCRIPTION
       Copy the array of data of length nbytes at ptr to the XDR buffer at position p, then align to the next 32-bit boundary by padding with zero
       bytes (see RFC1832).

NOTE
       if ptr is NULL, only the padding is performed.

       Returns the updated current XDR buffer position
