Yeah, but the rule is that we don't break userspace... :/
Fixing the bug in iotop was always going to be the easy part. It's great that they've applied a fix to git repo but it still takes a while to get the fix out to users so they don't notice a problem.
I think we're going to need to put an ifdef IA64 then size is 8 else size is 4. I just started this thread because I was hoping someone had a different ifdef to use, like maybe there are other arches which care about the alignment and maybe there is a way to test for it.
